flu flu fletching
aero86:
thanks guys. your right. i might paint the shaft as natural turkey might be hard to dye. ill need to keep a look out for the arrows since im not a very good shot yet!
Steve Cover:
I dip all of my Flu Flu shafts, and use a white wrap around fletch with a white nock.
Very easy to follow in flight and see in the tall grass.

I have a half dozen helical 6-fletch that fly really nice. But as Pat says these travel much further than spiral fletched.
The Turks used a combination of three fletched and spiral wrap; these probably have a nice guidance and stop quick... (see TBB4, the arrows chapter, by Mickey Lotz)
aero86:
so i got my 200 turkey feathers today. what length and height should i use. some are shorter at about 1 inch by about 9 inches long. others are 1.5 inchs or taller and longer than 9. im leaning towards the ones with the taller vanes..
Pat B:
The taller they are the more wind resistance and the quicker it will slow the arrows down. You will have to decide what works best for you. Try each to see what you like best.
