Both work fine for fletching. Primary wing turkey feathers are the most durable but I also use secondary and tail feathers as well as goose wing feathers. Goose feathers are more tolerant of moisture and don't mat down like turkey feathers do when wet. Pat

Lucas, I've never used snow goose feathers but I'd guess they would be as good as Canada goose. Are they solid white or do they have black on them also? Pat

The biggest advantage of the goose feathers is their natural ability to repel water. They are great for wet weather shooting/hunting.

Goose feathers are great. I have used canada and snow and they both work just fine. They are a little noisier due to them being a little wider than turkey feathers.

I like to have one or two arrows with goose feathers for rainy days.

The wild birds (turkey or goose) should have more natural oil than farm raised turkey feathers.
More water resistance.

I've never seen a snow goose much less their feathers. I assumed they were mostly white with maybe some black on them. Are the secondaries and tail feathers black also or black and white mixed? Pat

The snows have a little black at the wing tips when mature. They are a different color when immature
