Feather choppers
« on: December 23, 2007, 07:18:00 PM »
Hello all, I just joined this site and need some direction. I need a feather chopper that will chop 3" feathers. All of the trad. stores seem to only carry 5 in.  and 5.5 in. Does anyone know where to pick up some custom ones. thanks, Don

Vario  clippers from
  http://git-r-donearchery.com/  
 or  www.Herbsarchery.com
 Over 20 shapes and sizes. They are adjustable also.
 I reviewed these on my trad review pages at  www.peteward.com.
 Excelent is an understatement.
Share your knowledge and ideas.

I agree totally with Pete on this one: I've used both and now only own the Vario. Awesome piece of gear.

Man I wish I could get one!  They must be as good as everyone says because I've been trying for 3 months to get one to no avail.  :banghead:    :banghead:

Dino, have you called Herb Haines @ Herb's archery? He usually has quite a few in stock.

Yep, been waitin' on Herb for 2 of the 3 months.  He doesn't have any but says there is some coming in from Europe.  Hope he comes thru, I've been wanting to make some arrows. dino
