If just for hunting, go for the blazers. But I agree totally, the longer the vane or feather, the better drag and stability through flight the arrow will have, guiding that broadhead. I only use the 1.5 and 2.5 " vanes for competition and shootouts, where all my hunting setups deal with 4" vanes and feathers. Now, you can use the blazers in the smaller size, but personally, longer is better when choosing hunting vanes and feathers.
