| I've seen this before, but I don't think that it has been posted yet. I did this for a 25# traditional I used to have, but never got a chance to test it's accuracy at longer ranges(longer than 15 feet, the length of my room). |

It doesent say how accurate they are but they probably used them with a bow not a spudgun.
Ill make some tomorrow and test the accuracy. |

| My room is 10-by-15, just to clear up any confusion, and they should work reasonably well in a spudgun. I had problems with the fletching causing the arrow to 'jump' off of the shelf as I shot, but with a reasonable sabot accuracy is probably not going to be that bad. |

| They actually work pretty well. I shoot a self bow with no rest and the tape does tend to start bunching a bit or gets wrinkled. Still, I've done some accurate shooting a longer ranges and even hunted successfully. The key is to minimize the fletching height and taper the front edge a bit. It takes very little to stabilize an arrow. |

With the broomsticks and bleach does a Maniac sleep?
Hmm I'm not to sure about this fletching, I would be worried aout the tape gettng wrinkled andd wrecked. But if it did go all bollocked atleast it isn't a really nice feather fletching, that you spent about a hour on. |

| It's a temporary measure fletching. If you were in a situation that required a functioning arrow quickly, you could make one quickly without having to catch a bird first or locate feathers. They're not meant to last like a good arrow. |
