Building flu flu arrows?
«

Can I do this with a Bitz? Where is the best place to purchase fletchings from.....and is one "type" better than the other?
Also....what's the avg. flight range of a flu flu (let's assume a +/- 50# bow at 28")?
Thanks. This talk of shooting aerials has me intrigued.
(I DID do a search....and found nothing that answered this. Could've easily have been 'user error' on the search function) :confused:

Jeff, I had Paul from Badger Arrow build mine, 4 fletch, they still go pretty far, 80+ yards! I'm sure a 6 fletch will slow them down much faster. I going after pheasants so I want them to be a little quicker! You can buy flu flu feathers or just get full length feathers and cut em, thats the beauty, make them as pretty as you want or ugly as you want just as long as you can find em' after the shot!

Try a full length feather and wrap it around arrow at about 1/2" spacing they slow down fast.

Jeff, here a couple of the ugly ones I mentioned, I just trimmed up a turkey feather and stuck it in between my regular 5" shield cut to make it a 6 fletch! Did both of these during the 4th quarter of the SB!

you can most cerrtainly do it with a bitz, it is the 90 degree setting. Flu flu's are cheap, so you really dont have to worry about that. You can buy them as cut 4" flu flu's or you can buy the full length ones. I would get full length feathers, just because it gives you room to experiment!

I do mine with no jig at all... Guru actually has a thread in the "how-to" section on how to do a spiral flu flu arrow. Very easy...takes only some glue and 2 clamps. Just simply wrap the full lenght feather around (pay attention to the correct wing of the feather) and glue up. The spirals work great -- and look pretty sharp too. Exactly like what Pluck Yew has photo'd up there.
