Default Flu-Flu arrows for small game?

I'm looking to set up my "new" (second hand) compound bow to hunt both big and small game. I'm basically going after deer and grouse. For the small game, I'd like to use Flu-Flu arrows with judo points and luminocks so I won't lose them in the bush.

Problem is, my bow has a whisker biscuit, and those don't work with a flu-flu arrow. I'm looking at a whole mess of different rests and I'm not sure what kind would work for both flu-flu and normal arrows.

Do any of you guys use Flu-Flus? And what kind of rest would you recommend?

I have used them with a QAD HDX although not recommended it works. Flu flu are only really good for 20 and under shots...IMHO, when I have used them any time past that distance the game has heard them coming and fled.

I have shot hundreds of Flu Flus out of the Ugly Cookie [WB] ...
3 Feather, 4 feather, and Six feather...the key is using real feathers ...
I have boxes of turkey feathers in white ,red and yellow, full size foot long, so one can get three Four inch "vanes' per feather...

The six feather drops quickly, great for grouse etc on ground and in trees, the 4 feather has a little more distance, the three will give longer distance for geese...

Even thou the feathers are two inch wide they fly ok thru the Ugly Cookies, whether you buy or make your own put a good drop of fletch glue like Bohning Platinum on front and rear of feather...front being most important...

Actually out of all the rests I have shot feather flu flus out of , I have had the most success with the Ugly Cookie [WB]

Like Neil says - I shoot my flu-flus through my WB as well.

Great tip about the dab of fletch glue on the leading and trailing edge, too!
