Default RE: smaller vanes

ORIGINAL: hoyt3

is there any advantage, or disadvantage to going to a smaller fletching? I currently shoot a beman ics 400 with 100 gr tip and four inch vanes. now that a majority of my arrows need relfletching, I was considering a smaller, say 3 or 2.5" vane instead of my four inchers. any thoughts?
Yeah, there's an advantage. Lighter weight so you get a better FOC and more speed out of the arrow.

I use the Blazer vanes, 2" long and about 5 grains each. Very durable and they allow me to shoot small groups at 40 yards.
