fobs

[boy]

anyone shoot fobs and do u like them!

[Mudslinger]

Going on 3 years and I will not go back to standard fletching. Nuff said.

[bu2herndog]

They seem like they work really well, I need to get some to try out.

[Mudslinger]

There are drawbacks to the FOB's. They may make you change your anchor if the FOB contacts your face at full draw, you have to use a drop away rest that is timed right and it is hard on them if you do not shoot at different spots. I have broken some shooting at the same spot, but some of the ones that are not completely broken have flown just a good as the ones that are not broken. They never contacted my face so i did not have that problem and I was already shootin a drop away and it was timed to accept the FOB's with no changes.

[Habanarrow]

they're awesome

[Patton]

In the video it looks like the FOB falls off on every shot?

[Mudslinger]

If it is a psss thru, the the FOB and nock fall off the shaft and are laying on the ground where the animal was standing, they do not come off unless it is a psss thru. When you practice at a target, they do not come off.

Cool! i guess there is even less drag then when the arrow passes through a critter.

I wanna try these out sometime.

[Biggs]

I will not shoot fletchings ever again. Fobs work well after the rest adjustment.

[Mudslinger]

Do not mean to hijack this thread, but Biggs, that is one of the coolest Euro's I have seen. PM me some info on this Euro if you would please.

[boy]

These are the same reasons I have never tried em... I like the wb, and vanes are my anchor point.

[Matt_C]

I tried them, liked them but couldn't afford them...

[QuackAddict]

At $20 a dozen, they get expensive if you start tearing them up or losing them. Search FOBs here on TBH and on YouTube, you'll find all the info you need.

[Mudslinger]

They may sound expensive, but if i break one I can have a new arrow ready to shoot before you can decide if you want to cut of the one vane or feather and get your fletcher and stuff set up to refletch one vane or feather. I hate to refletch arrows so to me they are a godsend! I have also shot them when they were busted up pretty good with no noticeable difference in arrow flight or impact.
