A friend of mine likes them quite alot.

The first versions of these were very brittle. Apparently they have gone to a more flexible plastic now.

They are great for bows with Whisker Biscuit style rests. They withstand going through the bristles better than any fletching. Also apparently this action really gives the arrow a twist boost. You loose a little speed but those arrows are really spinning when they leave the bow.

For a drop away rest I much prefer the blazer vanes. The turbonocks will reduce your FOC so if your setup can't take that don't use them.

I had to rais my nocking point 1.1625" from whare it was to get them to tune and had to drop a shaft spine, Invested $150+ to get them to work in my rig so went back to my good old vanes never had a problem with them

I am a little bow ignorant, what is FOC?

FOC = Front of center balance

For broadhead flight it usually needs to be at least 10% on the lighter carbon arrows.

The Arizona EZ fletch works fine with Blazers. That's how I put them on. Just don't push the tightening ring down too hard or you will wrinkle them.

Turbo nock is good consider when u do lots of shooting in the same spot.Cos it's suppoae to protect your nock been broken by the movemment of a snaking arrow.
