Wet feathers question

[sharris10]

I just got soaked out on the 3D range and to say the least, my feathers are almost laying flat on the shaft.  Is there anything to help bring them back to life?

time... Mine always stands up when they dry out.

Sharris 10 if they are still flat after they dry on their own, try a little steam from a tea kettle spout. If they are flat and damp usually a hair dryer will bring them back to life. If the feathers are fairly new they will usually straighten out on there own.

Steam....get a pan of boiling water going and steam the heck out of them. Then rub the feathers, opening up the quills in the opposite direction they would normally lay in.

Let them dry thoroughly. Next time you anticipate rain on a shoot, spray them down with No Snow. This will waterproof them for about a week.

Watch that no snow stuff. If you use fletch tape it will turn the tape into sticky goo and you will be refletching them all.

A little steam is all it takes, I use a tea kettle to concentrate it where I need it, don't worry if they don't come back perfect, just carrying them around they will come back like new on their own.

While they are still soaking wet. Place the arrow shaft between your hands and spin it fast. (think starting a fire with a stick) Yeah you'll get wet but the spin throws the water out and fluffs the feathers.

hair dryer, and dry em.

I got one better, while they are still wet SHOOT EM, you will get a spray in the face, but when you pull them out of the target almost all the water is gone!
