If I do make a spiral wrap, I whip the ends with a little thread, usually use a “modified Hybrid” feather, take about a 6″ full feather, using a straight fletcher, glue about the front 4″ on staright, leave the back loose, when the front sets up, glue and pull the tail end into an off set.Put on 3 feathers like this. This set up gets off the bow fast and starts spinning at about 30 yards to slow the shaft, you don’t sacrifice arrow speed.

in reply to: BLOOD TRAILING BASICS #10245

One trick, especially in the South, is looking for insects that find the blood trail quickly. Mainly fire ants and Grand Daddy Long Leg Spiders. Also when tracking in a pine forest, as the deer runs,the blood falls at an angle. Angle your light source to be able to pick up blood under the top layer of loose pin straw.
