Have not used them but been looking at them and may order some to check them out.  My thinking is that their best use would be for longer shots in windy conditions.  Probably would try to use them if I was planning a hunt out west.  Very interesting concept.  Think the name could have been catchier than FOB like "foil fletching technology" or something....just my spare change... Also, i do like shooting groups and this pretty well rules that out.  Let us know when you try them.

I should be getting them in a day or so. Ive got at least a doz arrows with 2 fletchings on them needing a 3rd. I remember one year in colorado It rained then froze, all my fletchings fell off. Ihad to walk back to the truck 5miles for spare arrows For 20 bucks I figured they were worth a try

What an innovation, eh??  I am likely going to get some too. Turns arrows into fondue stick-looking things, but if they fly, I am IN!
