Accuracy up instantly. Nothing fancy to say here but its a true story. NOW - I had fletched my own 2in blazers and I am no bowsmith so feel free to say i did that wrong. BUT my accuracy improved for sure. They also seem to be more consistent. The End!
Please don't take this the wrong way but if accuracy went up after changing to a different fletching then I would think there may be some re-tuning to do of the bow and arrow. Out of a well tuned bow/arrow combo a bareshaft arrow should hit with the fletched arrow which would indicate that fletching should not improve accuracy. This is nothing against FOBs. I am sure they work great. Heck, apparently they are working better than your blazers :D.
No wrong way taken. Meant my post to be simple and simple it is. Bought and installed and noticed an increase in accuracy. Easy as that. On a side note why do you think that would be an indicator in bow tuning in need.That would beg the conclusion that you assume all fletchings to perform the same as far as accuracy. Again no offence that might be a perfectly logical stance to hold. I am new!
Out of a well tuned bow/arrow combo a bareshaft arrow should hit with the fletched arrow which would indicate that fletching should not improve accuracy. Fletching should add forgiveness so that when you make small form errors or the wind is blowing, etc. your arrow will not change course easily. If you would have put 5" feathers on your arrows you probably would have seen an increase in accuracy. That wouldn't mean 5" feathers are more accurate, it would mean they are correcting for errors/problems better than the previous fletching.
I think I am with you. All I know is my shots started hitting closer to where I was aiming by about 1/2 inc or an inch @ 30-35 yards. There was no wind or anything so maybe I am just having and really good evening! Thanks1
I switched to FOBs 3 years ago and love them. Don't know if I shoot any better but easy to replace and very durable.
I have a set of FOBs and have tried them. I was impressed with their accuracy. However, I love my Luminocs and you cant use them with FOBs. You can use them with targets but not deer. The FOBs pop off when hitting the deer. Correct me if I am wrong PLEASE. I badly want to switch to FOBs.
