During the swap/shoot last weekend, I had an opportunity to try something new. Mr. Kingston was there with a full quiver of flu flu arrows which he said he had been using for 40 years to hunt everything from small game to deer. He swore on these things and insisted that I try a few shots, since we had the same spine requirements. Well I was real happy with what I saw (pictured below)
First shot was low but now that I knew where point of aim was, the next two went right to their mark. 
What I expected from these arrows was noise which just wasn't the case. When I made this yellow one up it was loud but them I remembered what Mr. Kingston's flu flu's looked like. There were gaps in the fletching and so I recreated what I remembered seeing and wha la... it made them just as silent as my normal 5" parabolic feathers. If this is louder, I cant hear it.
Going to stay with these things this summer and see where this goes. |

Like I said... This is a test... This is only a test  First discovery. Took the cat out with me while I shot my regular arrow and the flu flu. My wife tended to the cat as I shot and the cats reaction (noted by the wife) was that the cat ducked the string with the flu flu but did not with the parabolic fletched shaft. The parabolic was shot first. Dang! With that said, the shaft performance was better with the flu flu on impact and it did stay relative in height on impact with the parabolic up to 20 yards. At 25 there was a 2" change. This does not break my focus though since I seem to always get a string jump with the deer around here, regardless of what bow (compound or recurve) and therefore, I always aim low anyway. Just thought I would report the facts as I continue on. |

So far so good. All my arrows are tied this way now and the only thing I see are positives. No more torn off feathers or feathers that lift on the forward end, etc.. Very good for me |
