Thanks all, I'm excited to get out and stretch my legs after sitting for deer so long! :D Plus it's a great time to scout where the pressured deer went and hid.
lpcjon2 and 44Charlie sent me some full length feathers for spirals, thanks guys!
I have some cedars for kids that were given to me a while back and they would make perfect stumpers.
Nice looking bunny camp Ron! I love bows and bunnies, it's perfect.
Love my spiral flu's $bowhunter$, they fly great and it's awesome to watch them fly away from your bow. Looks like a neon tennis ball, LOL! They have a cool hiss to them in flight.
Grapes- I use fletch wraps, feathers seem to stick to that material easily with Fletch Tite Platinum. Take your full length feather and sand stiff spots. Pre-wrap it around the arrow a few times so the feather takes shape to the shaft.
I'll dab glue where I want to start, then take thread and wrap it around the end of my feather a few times. Leave a tail of thread when you start wrapping so you can tie off when you get the fletch tight to the arrow.
You can glue a little bit of the feather at a time and hold it down as you spiral up. Take your time and let each section dry. Watch a Primal Dreams or something.
I've gotten to the point where I will glue and tie the starting point, then glue the whole feather, wrap it up and tie off the other end.
You really have to make sure your wrap is tight and your end tie off is snug doing it this way.
Trim off the excess when your done. I like to take a razor and bevel the ends of the fletch at a good angle.
