Your 2 fletch looks fine. How do they shoot? That's what that counts.

Shot it once. Doesn't fly wobbly. Fingers hurt still so I'll probably take it to a field tomorrow and shoot some for distance.


What makes an arrow a flu flu to where it does fly as far? Just curious so i avoid doing anything to limit distance.

Hey dictionary,

Here is a picture how to use the tab when you get it (your will be similar to the one pictured). It may take a little getting used to but it will protect your fingers.

Hey guys what about tuning primitive arrows?


Ive done some searching and it seems there is a general agreement that, you make them, shoot them, and if they fly okay, you put them in the quiver?


My arrows are from natural shoots so they vary in size/thickness but i'd say they are all around 3/8 at their thick end. I fletch them and keep the weight towards the head by keeping the thick end up front. I haven't added any points, but im thinking about getting some field points maybe. I don't have any means to test spine or any means of weighing my arrows right now so i don't know anything about how many grains my arrows weigh.

If the arrows fly pretty straight, i say okay, this is good enough. Im not hunting with them right now but still i want to have my arrows go where i look as well  ;)

Yeah, they kinda get sorted into categories such as deer arrow, squirrel arrow, stump arrow. You get the picture.
