Title: Show me The Feathers!
Post by: Bullet_Bob on February 07, 2009, 12:01:00 AM

I have come to see that there are a lot of custom Feather work on a lot of people arrows. I would love to see them.

I’m want to learn to Fletch and would like to get myself a nice color scheme.

Here's a few that I've made.  Not real fancy, but my main focus is making good arrows, not fancy ones.  I do like them to be pretty, tho.

A few I've done recently. I have a hard time making a dozen all the same. I usually do groups of four.

I don't know but you can always just cut an 1" off the back end.

Gateway feathers will custom make a chopper for you in any profile. I ordered a 4" low profile banana cut chopper from them.You have to send them a drawing of the profile you want and they make up an exact copy, so be accurate with your drawing. It's been awile but I think it's about 50 bucks not cheap but hassle free. Hope this helps. kon

I call this one The Piranha. Fly really well and less resistance off the shelf.

(http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm299/bowdart/Midarkshafts002.jpg) These higher, softer feathers make the sweetest sound went sent on their way. I keep these with my old Reese Field bow that I have on display as a treasure.

Terry, I had to put my sun glasses on to admire those. Shouldn't have no problem keeping an eye where they end up.   :biglaugh:

I like a similar pattern to Terry's arrows. shows up good in low light and makes it easier to see the arrow hit the mark. I saw these go in low and tight on 3 pigs late one afternoon. DB
