New Flu Flu's
« on: December 02, 2010, 09:23:00 AM »
I just received my first set of flu flu's from 3Rivers yesterday. I'm pretty excited about this. My plan is to use them this winter. The only glitch I see is I had no choice in the color selection for the fletching and of course they are white which should allow them to blend in nicely with the snow. I'm going to enjoy them anyway.

Hope you enjoy them! they are a lot of fun, last year me and my buddy made some card board disks to shoot at, it was a blast. Oh, and if you dont want white feathers next time you order from three rivers put the color you want in the special order request box, you will see it right before you pay for your arrows.

Can you dye them? I know they are on the arow but I would thin you could still come up with away to dye them.

Find yourself a dyed rabbit fur, or go to a hobby store like Hobby Lobby and buy a pack of marribou feathers--get a bright color you can see (obviously).  Either cut the fur in 1/4" or so strips, or strip the marribou feather, and glue it on just in front of your nock.

It won't affect flight, and is the next best thing to a lighted nock.

You could also just put some bright colored arrow wraps on too.  Easy way to add some contrasting color to the white.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Looks like color will be added to these arrows!

A colored sharpie will work too. Just color the feathers.

I second the colored sharpie. Works great.
