View Full Version : StarrFlight -New Fletching System
Hello,
I am an aerospace engineer and the inventor of a new fletching system. I would like to share what I am doing and get feedback. However, I do not want to step out of line on this site. Is it okay for me to discuss my invention? I am just looking for some response about my idea and how it works not sales.
Thank you

Speaking for myself I am interested in new developments in archery. So I would like to hear about it.

Let er rip Paul we'll listen to almost anything here!! :lol:
I have a "gizmo" we call FOBs. (fletching only better- for now)
It replaces feathers or vanes on any carbon ICS (internal component System). They also work of Easton Super Swage 78’s. You do need a fall away rest.
A small group of my friends and I have been hunting with FOBs for about two years now. They really do work That’s why I decided to market the thing. It looks like a strange ring wing that attaches to your arrow with a standard ICS press in nock . My goal was not “how to make a buck” but rather "how do I get a Zwickey to fly"
What it does is allow hunters to accurately shoot large fixed blade broadheads even on windy days with complete control. When I go roving or target shoot, I find I loose less arrows and FOBs out last feathers 10 to 1.

:shock: :? 8)
These FOB's sound interesting. I'd like to get more info.
Right now I'm shooting XX78's and 5" vanes c/w 8 deg. of right helical. Only I'm shooting Rocky Titanium 100's instead of Zwickeys.

Looks pretty good.
However I dont think they'll work for 3D ona counta a group that shoots really tight will need about 3 doz per round.

I was thinking the same that ring is just a aiming point if you shoot first arrow. :shock: . NAP makes a new vane that spins the arrows at a high RPM. as well.

I am going to look into the new Bohning Blazer vanes this year. They are a 2" vane that can stabilze a fixed blade broadhead.

hello I think it's a great idea to make a broadhead fly true. But the only concern I have with the fob is that it will be harder to get a pass through on the animal .so that concerns me on how good of a blood trail this would leave if the arrow stops at the nock .Just my opinon they might be great.

:lol: :lol:
I guess, maybe us old timers had it right all along. Get lotsa spin on them arrows and it'll stabilize just fine!!!!!!
