goose for flu flu?
« on: January 02, 2008, 08:38:00 PM »
So I have 10 sets of goose wings sitting in my garage from a successful morning hunt.  I am keeping the primary and secondary wings for next years hunting arrows.  

I have a question about the arrows beyond the secondaries (closer to the base of wing at the body) -

Has anyone ever used those for flu flu's?  They seem like just the ticket.

Why not? Generally, we use stiff feathers for fletching to lessen the noise and drag, while maximizing stability. We don't care about noise with a flu-flu, we are just adding a fair amount of drag. Pile it on and let us know how it does.

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

I would love to get some wild goose wing feathers. Mike, Please post picture of your arrows when you complete them. Mark
