Cabelas has both on sale, and I should pick up new ones since my old ones are, well, old. Is there a benefit to the longer or shorter vanes?

I like the shorter ones with my broad heads. They seem to fly "flatter" if that makes sense.

Shorter for sure. Blazer, if it's an option. And make sure they have a helical or offset, not straight.

the 4" ones are double the length of the 2" ones.





















seriously, the 2" blazers just seem to fly better

Well, I guess I know what the captain is for, captain obvious.

But seriously, thanks. Cabelas has both on sale for the same price so I'll go with the shorties.

Guess I gotta be the oddball here. I like the 4" ones better (haha...I know)...little fuck ups in the feathers don't make as big of difference to the flight with the longer veins.

I shot feathers for years, but those Blazer vanes really do make a big difference.

What about the fact that I use a whisker biscuit? Would the gradual slope of a 4"vane go thru better than a short blazer vane?

And Cabelas changed the prices, 4" vanes are $30, but 2" blazers are $35

While you're there, buy a new dropaway rest, too.

Check out Schaffer performance archery's drop away rest. When I've got $120 I'll be getting it. Till then, I'll be putting the shaft thru the whisker biscuit

You don't skimp when it comes to bow hunting do you.

Not much. I don't like putting in all that effort and work, and then having some piece of equipment fuck me up when it counts.

I like the Muzzy Zero Effect rest. They've gotten pretty affordable lately. There's no string to break, which I'm a big fan of. I've had mine for about 4 years, and never had a problem with it.

I'm the same way...only I'm that way with everything I do. I figure if I'm gonna put a little money into something, I might as well put in a little more and do it right. Otherwise I always just end up pissed off, then buy the good stuff anyway.
