Have hunted pheasant/ quail about a doz times with my recurve and long bow.

I made arrows ( flu flus) with 4 full length feathers glued on the shaft. They flew about 50-70 yds after shot. Sometimes arrows were difficult to find after the shot.  I also spiral wrapped a full length feather and the arrow went about 30 yds at most. Both worked well.

I suggest using a dulled 2 blade coc broadhead like a grizzly or zwicky. I dulled the broadhead because I was hunting with my dog. The bird snares did not work well for me. Hit many birds but did not knock down pheasants. WOrke dok on smaller birds like quail and chukar


I had my wife throw up duct taped pieces of foam for ariel shooting practice

Lots of fun :tup:

Sound like you guys saved me some money staying away from the bird snares. Thanks for all the info!
You can say the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse always gets the cheese!
