        Man yeah!! Knock the feathers right off’em! 😆 68mph gust of wind came thru here awhile ago and I think at that time, feathers or non was a moot point. Duck and run best idea!

            Ed, I’ll work on acquiring what I need to build a shaft like we’re talking about. I’m sure that Amarillo will have a typical late winter and spring with many days of these high winds. Wind caused misses around here are not an excuse, just a fact of life! There’s times when I’ve had wood arrows get crosswise with the wind and crack when they impacted the target. Aluminum’s have bent. Don’t know about carbon as I’ve only shot a few that belonged to others. I’ll find out whenever I be smart enough to figure out what to shoot out of my bows.

              If I had an EFOC, heavy shaft with itty bitty feathers it would be good to do wind experiments here in Amarillo today. Up to 60 mph. Accuracy would be a problem for sure but it would be interesting to watch arrow flight properties.

                  I can can definitely see advantages of FOC and what you are demonstrating is interesting.

                  I been out back playing with wood arrows and doin some FOC experiments. With woodies I know we’ve always used weight forward to play with spine either heavier point to decrease or lighter to increase. I have a center shot longbow that Gerald ( Yellowjacket Longbows) made and with it I can get away with a lot of different spined shafts so I can play some with FOC. I put some 160 gr. on a couple of arrows and compared with the 125 gr. of matching shafts. At 15 yds. bingo! Cool. Makes me want to invest in some carbon. Good to save money on feathers. I bet with FOC, less feather be the norm.

                    There may be, after all is said and done, advantages to one keeping one’s feathers you suppose! 😆

                                Ya, good. I watched him skin out an Alaskan Brown Bear on one of his shows here awhile back. It’s good to watch talent and learn.

                                Kinda like learning how to “milk a rabbit”. Good to know if you got warm weather going on when your bunny hunting.

                                  Hey Dave, sorry bout not getting back sooner.I was having computer problems yesterday and with a day of rare light winds in the Texas Panhandle I had a choice and being the computer whiz that I am, I went stumping with my compadres. “Fix computer when sun don’t shine no more” :))Ha. I wrapped over, around but I bet a strap on type quiver would stay in place if put over. Will have to give it a try.

                                  Someone told me the other day that there was a commercial variety of this and I go “dang”. Bet mine is much cheaper and way more readily available though.
