Have you ever seen this before?
« on: February 05, 2010, 06:30:00 PM »
I have personally not, but that defiantly doesnt mean anyone has never tried it.  I am actually excited to give it a whirl, was impressed by my first 6 fletching arrow.  But it wasnt the same as a flu flu, it went a bit faster.  SO I decided to go for it, and made my first ever 8 fletching arrow!
 
 
the pictures are terrible, but you can get the main vibe from them.  It looks sweet, the true test will be when I give it a shot tommorrow!  Sometime inbetween all the shoveling, and tractor snow removal!

I made up some 6 fletch arrows like that a few years ago for tree rats. They flow great and You get a nice view of a ball flying to the target.

You can use three, four inch, full height feathers, and get the same resistance at a smaller price.  Cheap....I mean frugal guys like me, opt for less feathers for the same purpose. 8^).
