Flu Flu's
« on: April 04, 2013, 11:52:22 pm »
Could I see some of your Flu flu arrows guys.  Have seen a few, trying to get a good idea on real quicky simple ones to make if there is such a thing. Say 20-30 yarders.... :P

I think this style stops em the fastes, some even use 2 feathers going around like this.  I don't small game hunt with these though, I feel like they are a little noisey.  I use three 4" full height fletching.  JMO, dpg

Spiraled fluflus are the quickest, easiest fluflus to make and like botarist suggests they do stop and arrow faster than oversized, straight or helical fletched fluflus.
Start by tieing off the rear of the feather about 3/4" to 1" below the nock then spiral the fletcher around the shaft. The tighter the twist the more the resistance. Then tie off the front of the feather and you are done. No muss, no fuss!  ;) Here is one I carry in my quiver...

Empty .38 or .357 brass fits perfectly on 11/32 shafts - makes a good blunt. Bob

Yep, and drill outr the primer and put that over a duplex nail to add a point and about 80 grains.  I like the 357 mag. shells myself.

The black and whites are too large for hunting(target practice only) but the goose still has some power.
