Hey guys. I just wanted to know if any of you know any information about flu flu arrows from small game and bird hunting. I am really interested in pursing geese with these arrows. My deer hunting bow currently has a whisker biscuit, might upgrade it to a NAP Apache rest. So I am not sure how the rest and fletchings will interact. But my dad has an old Fred Bear Recurve in the basement I could also use, if my compound doesn't work. (I also don't really want to take my hunting bow out into the corn fields with me goose hunting). So basically I was just looking for some information about these arrows. And what works best with them. I think this will be appreciated by others who might search for this as well. As always, thank you guys for your help. Jordan
I shoot flu flus on a recurve. Never tried them on my compound. I fletch them with one full feather in a spiral style like this pic.
You shouldn't have any trouble shooting the flu flus through the whisker biscuit. The only problem you will have is shorter feather life. A drop away rest is ideal from a compound so that there is no feather contact. In the video, Introduction to Aerial Archery, there is flu flu testing from a 70# Hoyt with a drop away rest. All of the arrows were shot at a 45 degree angle. A double spiral fletched arrow only went about 65 yards. A three fletched flu flu went nearly 130 yards if I remember correctly. With geese, you want as much energy as possible, so you just need to balance that with your safe arrow landing zones. Good luck and let the real fun begin.
The other thing is make sure that your are in compliance with any of your states requirements and/or definitions of flu flus
