If I go lower profile (better rest clearance) such as the AAE Pro Max in four fletch will it steer a fixed head?
Sure you can use 3 vanes and shoot good. regardless of how well it's tuned. I like more forgiving arrows for hunting scenarios.
The main reason I'd go with four fletch is because I run one color fletching and hate feeling for the nock tab/indexer when I nock an arrow.
I figured it was a given to have a tuned bow. I also like the idea of having one more air slicer in relationship to my 3-blade broadhead but I have no evidence suggesting there are any advantages.
Let's assume our 'tuned' bow is borderline tuned, meaning it is tuned but just barely, and the cables stretch just a wee bit say right before a trip, wouldn't the 4-fletch benefit the unsuspecting archer?
I personally prefer the 4 fletch, I didn't have an issue with the 3 but 4 just seems to stabilize quicker and Ihave to be honest looks cooler without creating issues
This is really my point. When you refer to stabilizing quicker this is a sign that something is out of tune. So instead of going to a 4 fletch or larger fletching to correct this I look deeper in to my tune. Ultimately this will give you the most forgiveness.
Please don't take these post wrong in general, if you choose to shoot 4 fletched it will do well for you and I am a firm believer to shoot what gives you the best confidence.
No offense taken.
I feel 2" Blazer vanes are a scosh too tall (clearance issues) so my intent was two-fold; 1 - nock without looking (which leads me to wonder if groups would open up due to nock tuning inconsistancy), 2 - use a slightly shorter vanes while adding one vane to even out.

You are having clearance issues with the Blazers ? Are you tied to the bottom limb ?
save your money... No offense to the guys shooting 4 fletch, I think they work as well as the 3 fletch... but not better. If anything it is more drag on an arrow, thus it will cause down range velocity loss.
I have shot competitively for many years including vegas as well as redding and some other higher level 3d competitions..... I have seen ZERO of the top shooters shooting 4 fletch arrows. I know I know, we are shooting broadheads yadda yadda, but as has been mentioned above, accuracy is accuracy and a well tuned bow will shoot a broadhead.
