I just have made three flu-flus and im wondering who have invented these arrows...
There is some historival evidence for using flu-flu in the past?

Klopsteg wrote about the "abrish" in his book, which is a modification of the the turkish "puta" or target arrow. Which the whole lenght of feather is wrapped around the the shaft of the Abrish. And typically these days it is several tall feathers. The practice was still the same, To slow the arrow down so it would not travel as far.
