ok, cool.  i was gonna try it anyways!  but just wanted some reassurance.  saves me lots of feathers too.  at least ten so far.

The Gopher:
Yeah, i like the wrap around ones too, they are just so easy to make.

aero86:
so, last question, what length of shaft and wrap spacing would be best for 20-30 yard arrow?  guesstimate..

Pat B:
I usually use a wrap space of about 1/4" and use them on my standard arrows.

Louie:
Old post, but worth a revival. I was walking on the beach the other day and randomly collected a bunch of seagull feathers. They've been lying around because they're a bit on the soft side for fletching, and this morning I got a bee in my bonnet to make some flu flus. Split them, sanded the quills down nice n thin and spiral wrapped em. 2 feathers per arrow, one black, one white with white nocks. Came out great, fly beautifully and the best part is they never cost a cent. So there you have it, no need to buy Turkey feathers, just go for a stroll on the beach with the Mrs and you'll score brownie points and free flu flus.
