Those fletchings are specifically designed for shooting flying birds.  Turkeys are usually shot one the ground.  I'd think you'd want a standard fletching.

Definitely want standard fletching for turkey hunting...unless you plan on head shooting one out of a tree :chuckle:

A lot of different Flu-Flu styles.  Basic differences are short, medium and long range.  Short range spirals are fun to make, look different and I like them for shooting grouse in timbered areas.  Six Fletch 4-5" medium range seem the most universal and what I used to shoot the most for pheasant and quail in open fields.  Four fletch 4-5.5" long range are what I used for shooting ducks and geese over decoys when the arrows would become water flowers.

All kinds of variations can be done.  All are fun to make and shoot.  Try a little bit of everything and make sure you have A LOT of room before testing their flight!!  It's a blast :tup:
