Spiral fluflus

<< < (2/2)

Pat B:
Yea, what they said. The last ones I did I just ties the nock end, spiraled the feather around the shaft and wrapped the fore end...no glue.
Postman, the full feathers you get from 3rivers is what my red flu flus are. You can make your own with goose or turkey but I prefer bright colored flu flus.   
   Mark, yes, there is a certain direction for each side of the feather but I'm not sure either. I just see which way works best. I have done it both ways and they both impede the arrow but the wrong way looks funny. ;D   Pat

1/2primitive:
As an aside, I almost shot a blackbird with one a couple of minutes ago. I think it grazed his back.  ;D

aim small, miss small! ;)     Pat

Postman:
good info guys. I prefer the bright colors too. I actually spray painted my "stump" arrows with blaze orange marking paint. When they hit and bounce, I can easily mark them with my horrible eyes, or send the rugrats on a quest to find them.  I hate looking for arrows. Now that it's greened up, it takes the fun out of practice, if a good shot turns into a 1/2 hour search. As many mentioned on a previous post, target butts don't really help me. Stumpin' rules!
