Arrow Vanes

Okay I am going to buy some arrows pretty soon,
My question is "Which vanes are better for hunting with fixed broadheads"
4 inch vanes or 2 inch vanes.
I would like to know the pros and cons of both.
Anything would be helpfull.

I use 2" Blazers on my Slick Tricks and love the setup.

I use 2" Blazers with both mechanical 2 -Blade Rage (100gr.) and fixed Muzzy MX-4's (100gr.) They fly just fine.

Definatly go with the two inch blazers, man. They fly so much straighter. Definetly the way to go!

IMHO there is nothing better for guiding broadhead tipped arrows than feathers, but if you are wanting to use vanes go with the 2" Blazers or Predator vanes.

They work very well!

I'm in 100% agreement with Dan. Though I will also add the NAP quick spin speed hunters as one of the best vanes. I prefer them over blazers.

Again, I have to agree with the above.... I've been preaching this for years... blazers, you can't beat them for arrow flight, durability, and dependability!

Thanks all for the input,
I am going to use 2 inch blazers with my slick trick broadheads.
Once again thanks.

Have you ever tried to shoot feathers when they got wet from the rain and/or snow? They (feathers) are hard to get to fly straight to begin with.

Nope never shot wet feathers before.
