I agree, those are some good looking 2 fletches. How do they fly?

Is that real sinew or artificial? Still trying to master how to keep my feathers on the shaft  ::)

Thanks Pat, I owe a great deal to Eddie and TJ for throwing the knowledge and supplies my way. Thanks Dictionary, The normal 2fletch are real sinew and the eastern Two-Flu is artificial sinew. I used the 3rivers pine pitch for adhesive. The normal ones fly great have not shot the 2flu yet.

You did a fine Job on those Matt.  Those look ready to do some damage.

Thanks guys, The 2flu flew great but sounded like a covey of quail taking flight. I may kill more small game with heart attacks from the noise than actually from contact.

On  higher weight bow it would probably have the swoosh that you hear in the movies.

Excellent arrows Matt. You can trim the flu flus a little at a time to lessen the noise

My experience with flu flus is that they don't work on squirrels because they duck from the sound. Nice looking arrows. Particularly like the traditional nutter points.
