Today I chat with the guys from FOB Archery, an innovative fletching for hunting arrows. Upon first glance, you will see they look totally different than a vane or feather fletching but the technology behind its design offers a number of advantages. A FOB doesn’t require any glue and you can setup a bare shaft arrow with one in a matter of seconds, saving time and hassle. It’s cylindrical profile provides better stabilization for longer shots under windy conditions and it pops off your arrow during a pass through which marks the point of impact.
In addition to it’s advantages, we talk about how the company got started and how the three of them began this business venture together. We also talk about certain equipment limitations such as not being compatible with whisker biscuits, certain arrow diameters, and cross bows. To round out the episode, they give us the run down on price points and what other products they offer in their lineup. For more information on FOB Archery, please visit www.fobarchery.com
