“Even when shot bare-shaft, EFOC/UEFOC arrows fully recover from paradox at less than one yard. Think of the times you’ve had a shot opportunity, but only if you could thread your arrow through a very narrow opening in brush that was close to you. Using such an arrow makes that shot possible.” – Troy Breeding, at the K’Zoo Seminar (paraphrased) 😯

This deserves multiple postings. 😀

“The arrow has been likened to a ship; the feathers corresponding to the rudder with which the ship is steered. If the rudder is too heavy, it slows the ship down and may even cause it to sink; if it is too light, the ship will roll and pitch and be out of control.” – From translation of the 500 year old text on Arabic Archery

Ergo; if the fletching is of a greater amount than the minimum required to stabilize the arrow’s flight all it does is slow the arrow down and ‘cause it to sink’. 😯

Troy Breeding wrote: The one thing I do remember is at twenty yards I could see the rotation in the shaft. Without feathers it had to be the single bevel broadhead causing the rotation.

Interesting observations. That is supportive of what I observed with the unfletched normal FOC arrows. It appears that the single-bevel BH does induce some arrow rotation in flight.
