I would try either Bowhunter supercenter or Lancaster. They both carry feathers that size.

Here is what I do. I use 4" and cut them with a sharp pair of scissors to desired length:

I tried cutting down feathers like that, but they made a lot of noice.  Of course, that was out of my wheel bow.  I have been using the 2" Razr feathers and love them with all my trad bows.  I seem to get better flight with them than even 5" especially off a shelf.
