Deer hair flu flu fletching. This is an idea I’ve wanted to try for a while, and the roadkill deer we harvested recently provided plenty of material. These work the same way as the rest of my “skirted” arrows; increasing drag on the back to keep the arrow flying straight. ⠀
⠀
The material is a pain to work with, but it’s light, very durable, and the quietest fletching I’ve made so far. I attached them to cedar driftwood shafts with deer sinew and gave them a light coating of deer tallow to add some water resistance; though I’m not sure if that’s necessary.⠀
⠀
I shot them from ten to thirty yards today and even this minimal amount of material kept the arrows flying straight when I did my part. I have some longer hairs from the tail that I’ll put to good use too, but these just pulled right off of the hide, and there’s plenty of them.⠀
