are 2" better than 3"? I've been hearing people talk about using 2" more than most others? are they actually good with a larger broadhead? Just curious. Thanks for any help.

I will venture to guess that the 2" craze has come about because of Blazer vanes. I have yet to try them, but many..many others have and like them a lot. This is just a guess though.

Don't confuse them with target or 3D vanes

Yes sir, the popularity of the 2" vanes are because of the higher profiled 2" Bohning Blazers and the new 2" Duravane Predator vanes. These vanes are designed to maximize stabilization and arrow flight while minimizing weight. They will indeed guide b-heads everybit as good as any 4" vanes! They are not a gimmick, they truly do work and most that have tried 'em,.... love 'em! Give 'em a shot and see what all the talk is about? Good luck and good shootin'

I am using 2214x7 aluminum with 3 2"blazer vanes and 125 gr. 4 blade muzzy broadheads and at 50 yrds my broadheads and feild points are about 1 inch apart from each other.

I have to 2" Blazers on my GT Exp. hunters. They stear them fine. My arrows are also faster due to less drag. They also go through my Wisker Bisquit just fine.

The biggest reason the 2" vane came about was as a result of the thinner carbon arrows.

Shooters were no longer able to fletch a helical on thin carbon arrows with 4" vanes and get fletching clearance through thier rest.

This is also why NAP's quickspin vanes came about, while longer then the blazers they didn't need to be set on a helical to generate rotation.

Drop away rests took a lot of the fletching issues away, but not before the Blazer had a strong foothold.

The vane you choose is really dependant upon your setup - if you shoot 21/64 or larger diameter arrows you can get all the vane clearance you need even using an extreme helical with 4", 3" or 2" vanes no matter what rest you use. Once you drop below that diameter shaft, fletching clearance becomes touchy. You can either opt for using a small degree off-set (instead of helical), go to a drop away arrow rest ($75-$100+) or you can use shorter fletching such as Blazers, or NAP Quickspin.

Although I have heard the NAP Quickspin are not going to give you any weight reduction, not that I believe the weight reduction with Blazers is that significant. Maybe if you were shooting competitive 3D's or field archery - cause every little bit helps. But in the woods after game - the 2-3fps you will gain by switching to a 2" vane from 4" vanes is really not going to be noticed.

not only do the 2'' blazers work well but so do the smaller quick spins. i have used both blazers and quick spins and like them equally the same. i noticed tightening of my groups instantly. especially at further distances

I believe drop away rests came out long before blazer vanes.

The new 2" Quick Spin Speed Hunters will definitely have their following. 3 speed hunters are 1 grain lighter than 3 blazers. Which surprised me considering the weight of most QS's So far I have been impressed.

2 inch blazer

i shoot them and thay shoot better than 3

 

[Hoyt Hunter]

I have tried them and they giude my fixed blade b-heads great. My local proshop couldnt do them right and they would always fall off the shaft so I just shoot 4 inch vanes that come on my carbon expresses and they shoot fine

 

[WesTDC]

I just fletched up the new quikspin speed hunters and I love them. They are definitly going in my quiver this fall.:wink:
