So what is the benefit of using something like 2" blazers vs. 4" vanes?

Benefit? A couple come to mind. 1 is weight. Blazers weigh a little less, helping speed and FOC. All be it minimal.

Second. Vane clearance. Sometimes it's difficult to get good vane clearance w/ a long vane.

Third. If you're using a whisker biscuit, they're the bomb. They are much more rigid than a standard vane and stand up to the abuse much better.

I use 4" vanes on my 3D arrows, and will have 4" feathers on my hunting arras.

Now that I have a cheaper source for feathers -

3 - 4" parabolic RW feathers for practice andsmall game

4 - 4" parabolic RW feathers for deer
Where might that be?[8D]

I use Razr feathers or 3" Parabolics depending on my arrow.

I use the 2" Blazers almost exclusively. Quiet. Better FOC. Great broadhead stabilization with a hard helical offset. Very good in the wind.

Feathers plastice vaines always start getting wavy on me after a couple hundred shots. Haven't tried blazers yet maybe this year.
