Made these with food coloring and rabbit fir. The arrow flies with out issues.

Nice!

Steve Gorr liked to use the fur tracers also to help him see his arrow flight.

They do work well. Turkey Marabou works really well also.

I don't know why I got out of the habit of installing tracers. I love them. Maybe this will get me going again. Thanks, >>>>------> Ken

Looks great. I used marabou feathers on my self knocked bamboo arrows.

How are the Turkey Marabou feathers attached to the shaft? Is there a little strip of skin left 0n them? Thanks, >>>-----> Ken

Looks like fabris is stitched on.

c

Ken..the marabou is on a stem like a wing feather. The stems can be thicker or thinner just depending on where the feather comes from.

I used them many years ago.

Very nice !

Can you use them with the newer style push-in nocks on a lot of aluminum and all carbons?

Yes...they are typically fastened between the nock and the fletching.

Tied on like a fly fishing hook would be easy...if ypou tie flies.

Just like palmering/wrapping hackle on a wooly worm Bob or even tighten up like tackling a wet fly.

I install them this. (I had a build a long at one time)

I trim about 3” of maribou to 1/4” high. (Trust me that makes a nice ball) glue one end at 90* to the shaft right behind the fletching. Let that dry GOOD. Apply glue to either the shaft (about 1/4” wide) or the tracer. Clip a hemostat on the end of the maribou. Turn the shaft to wind the maribou tight behind the fletchings. Secure the shaft so it doesn’t unwind and let it dry.

Today.

Pic to go with directions above.

Thanks Dan for the info.
