Shooting Flu Flu arrows is noisy fun.wmv -- Traditional archery

Went out to shoot some Flu Flu arrows. Trying to capture the sound of an arrow.

Flu Flu arrows are specifically designed arrows with large fletching. The excess fletching causes a lot of air resistance, which limits the arrows effective flight distance, usually about 25-30 yds (30m). I make my Flu Flu's using full-length feathers, cut in half, 4 fletches per arrow. Some Flu Flu arrows are made by spiraling 2 feathers around and down the arrow shaft. The excess fletching of a Flu Flu arrow makes it rather noisy.

Flu-flu arrows are used for aerial target shooting and the hunting of birds and small game. Because flu-flu arrows fly short distances, it is easy for the archer to recover the arrow if the intended target is missed. Special bird points consist of a shallow wire basket 4-6" in diameter attached to the end of the arrow. When shooting at squirrels or other tree dwellers, a blunt point is usually used. The blunt point provides plenty of shock power while preventing the arrow from sticking into the tree if the archer should miss his target.

[Woodenarrows]

@rednck700 I don't but yes you can small game hunt with Flu Flu arrows. They are great for squirrel, rabbit and bird, any short range shots.

Can't stop watching this vid. I love shooting port orford flu flu's. What poundage is your bow? Great job.

How do you make these arrows? Just mess a little with the fletchings?

[Woodenarrows]

@Janfodne You fletch them as you would any other arrow, you just use the full, uncut feather. You can use 3,4 or 6 fletch, or some will spiral warp the feather. I buy full length uncut feathers and I can usually get two fletchings from a single full length feather.
