OK it's 9:53 on Thursday evening and I just had a phone call inviting me to a shoot on Sunday. There's going to be an ariel target shoot which I'm desperate to try... but ... no Flu Flu's
Time is a problem ... I'm working all day tomorrow and I promised a farmer friend I'd help with his hay making on saturday and I dont want to let him down.
here's the problem ... I've got no time to buy any specific components and build a set of Flu Flu's and I need a set for Sundays shoot
So what have I got to work with....
I've got about 150 unspined shafts of different woods
I've got a box of odds and sods of 100g 125g brass and 150grain steel ponts
I've got about 500 full length goose feathers
... and some assorted nocks
Putting together a set of shafts with nocks and piles isn't a problem but it's the fletchings I'm struggling with
So here's where I need TT to come the rescue ... how can I use the Goose feathers to fletch my Flu Flu's... how many feathers do I put on? what length do I use, do I wrap them around the shaft?
.... I need some input guys and the clocks ticking
