FLU FLU spine

[MikeM]

I have never used/shot FLU FLU's. When using FLU FLU fletched arrows does it affect what spine arrow you use or do you use the same spine as with standard fletch.

I just starting using a couple Flu Flu arrows.  I used the same spine and didn't notice any difference (exceptin' they don't fly as far), but there are folks here with much more knowledge than me, so hopefully you will get more info.

I was told it didn't make that much difference in spine weight for flu flu's. Everybody I've asked said whatever would work fine and spine was not that critical like it was for regular arrows.

A good friend gave me some of his arrows that he broke at the point which ended up too short for him. They were WAY too stiff for me, so I made them my flu flu arrows. I put four 5.5inch uncut feathers on them and they fly like a champ. All that extra feather stabilizes a mismatched arrow pretty well.

I don't think it makes much difference with flu flu's,I took some of my old 2317's from my wheel bow days and made them into flu flu's.And they shot great out my bow that I was shooting 55-60# POC and 2018's out of.I took all my older stiff arrows and made them into flu flu's and spine didn't matter,they all shot good.

Aluminum or Carbon probably does not really matter. If you are using wood overspine is OK but be cautious of underspined shafts they could break at release (not a good thing).

Spine does not matter with FLU FlU's, I use my extra or left over arrows from different sets and bows, and make them into FLU FLU's.  I can shoot all my various size FLU FLU arrows out of any of my bows.  The FLU FLU creates so much drag, that it takes spine out of the equation.

I use both the spiral type FLU FLU and 4, 4" uncut fletch as well.  Both work equally well.  The spiral type go shorter distances by far.

thanks for the info

this is good news because i have quite a few aluminums from my wheelie days that I can't shoot with trad but I just couldn't get rid of.  never know what else you can use them for-like replacements for lost stakes for turkey decoys.  Now they can actually find a second life as their intended purpose--now to find some flying targets

I've been playing a little with spiral wrap flu flus for shooting grouse.  I have a bunch of old 2413 shafts that are too short and have been splicing ends on them with sections of 2216 shafts glued inside.

After making them up, we will play with tips weight to get them to shot where we look with our hunting bows.  

I love that they only go about 35 yds when shot.
