What is the standard for Flu Flu fletchings and what makes a good alternative? What works good?

Lately I like taking a split full length feather and spiraling it around the shaft. Works great. You can also use six fletchings with a bunch of helical and leave them full height.

I like the spiral wrapped full lenght feather. It is quick and easy.

I like a modified flu flu set up, three feathers, 5" glue first 3" on straight, let dry, then by hand pull a spiral in the end at a pretty sharp spiral. They will get off the bow quicker have good speed first 10 yards, then start to spin out.

Not to hijack, but I've been wondering: which is better (does more to stabilize), spiral or several full height feathers?

The spiral has more surface area and slows down the arrow sooner. Look from the point down a flu flu arrow. Not much room for air to pass straight through.

I like the spirals better.. but can tell you from experience.. for pheasants , geese and ducks.. a broadhead is a must.. otherwise you will spend lots of time chasing a bird with arrow in it.. really sucks.. broadheads get it done quickly.... for smaller birds blunts work well... but usually bounce off the larger birds because of shot angles and heave feathers.. good luck..and happy hunting....

Hillbilly: I like the spiral flu flu. I think I'll try a couple.
Have you ever used the super broad foul arrow heads? The have like three 3" long razor blades at an almost 90 degree angle from the arrow shaft.
Pretty nasty. Probably would not qualify as primitive. Pic below.

if i'm not mistaken those big 'ol razor blade heads are intended for head shots on turkeys, which makes sense. i think if you tried to shoot that into the body of a turkey with all their feathers it would almost bounce off.
