RE: Smaller vanes
It won't.. I shoot blazers for hunting.. and I also shoot 2.3 Dura vanes and 2.5 Dura vanes... I don't even have any 4" vanes anymore.. You will like the blazers they are real durable.

RE: Smaller vanes
I have arrows with 3" feathers, 2" Blazers, and 2.25" Quickspins.
They fly just as good as a 4 or 5" vane IMO. Arrow flight for me is as follows best to not as good. 1) 3" feathers, 2) 2.25" Quickspins 3) Blazers.
None f them fly bad but as fas as consistency is concerned that's how it is working out for me so far.

RE: Smaller vanes
feathers are better and 4" feathers are just as fast 3" should be faster. i tested my arrows with both and my friends. 4" feathers were about 4 fps faster. they shoot fine though just dont see why you want something so small when you could have 4" of feathers controling the arrow instead of 2.5"

RE: Smaller vanes
HAve to agree Bradkoz on this, stick with feathers, especially with a WB. My experience has been that WB will strip vanes right off, the feathers give. Also feathers when chewed up still fly good!
My brother came over and shot some yesterday and now he is a believer!!
