I grew up on a farm in Idaho, and I remember watching my dad and some of his bowhunting buddies shoot pheasants out of the air, they were using arrows called flu flu arrows. The fletchings on the arrows had really feathery fletches that were over matched for the arrows so when the arrow is launched in the arrow it slows down real quick. All of the guys were using recurve bows.
I always keep one arrow in my quiver for a grouse, when i'm hunting (camp meat) and very delicious I might add.
