David, that is to give Steve something to shoot at.  ;D   It is a tracer so I can see the arrow in flight and when it hits the target. When shot it lays down flat( still visible) but when it hits it "puffs" out for more visibility.

David and Thomas, these tracers are rabbit fur. I buy rabbit zonkers from a fly tying shop and glue them on with fletch tape.
  Thomas, any soft fur will work well and so will feathers like marabou.
