Cheers,
I bought some off-cuts of hide with hair on,(haven't looked at it yet) hopefully there will be some that'll make a good rest :)
I have somewhere I can flight shoot for testing these days :). Field 1/4 mile long with a hedge at the end and then another field 1/4 mile long :) .
Funny game flight shooting, no good taking distances and comparing week to week, have to shoot head to head on the same day to get meaningful results. We get some weird winds, just walking across the field it can be flat calm and then 50 yards along it's blowing a gale... dunno what it's doing 100 feet up!

I forgot to mention that the fletching I used was natural not the plastic it came with.  The shaft diameter was 1/4"

Cheers, more good info.
Yeah, I'm assuming plastic fletchings are better... but the one thing flight arrow making teaches, it's you can't make assumptions  ;D

Marc St Louis:
The fletching I used was essentially the same as what I used on the wood arrows.  The difference in distance between the 2 was small but there were some of the wood arrows that consistently went farther than the C arrow.  Both the wood and C arrow weighed about the same (275~300 grains).  The distance I got, using bows around 50#, was around 320 ~ 330 yards
