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

i just use plain ole 4 inchers........they kill deer just fine

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.

3 x 4" barred feathers for hunting .

2xred tiger stripe& 1x white tiger stripe Blazers for 3D and field .

2 x flo green & 1 x white QSST hunters forchange .

for me there getting harder to get but i use Marco vanes 4 " great memory and very thin to i like them

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.

x2....on my beamans.

My new sticks are blazered.

Blazers for me since I shoot with a WB.

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