Are Longbows as spine sensitive when come to shooting FLU FLU?
I grabbed 3 fluflu's, spined 60-65 and shot them from a 45# longbow I just acquired. Arrows shot great. Seems my fluflu's shoot great out of any of my longbows. Must be that big fletch just straightens them out?
ive never noticed a difference with mine of any of my friends bows. there all about 50# draws but i buy arrows at 90# spine for exstra toughness. the huge feathers help the arrow recover faster steering even a completely mixed spined arrow close to true.it works best with a helical on the feathers too. if you do a spiral they fly fine just like normal.
The only thing I find painful with longbows and flu flu's is that you cant have feather's that are to high they will cut your pointer finger depending on your grip style. With my Hill and flu's I have to wear a glove or go home bloody.JMHO
its the quill at the base of the shaft doing the finger cutting....fletch with the opposite wing feather. .. and it will cure the problem...
Longbows or recurves..it doesnt matter...you can shoot a shaft that doesnt tune to your bow....the feathers are so large they correct any flight issues.......
