Try The Footed Shaft. He is a great guy to deal with.

If you buy solids they are only $40/dz from Kustom King.  If you order right now you get 10% off for ordering online.

I get my solids from Valley Traditional Archery.  Last ones were under $35 - I am not sure what they are now.  I am trying to get a source to try Gateway - I hear they are less than True Flight.

I make a single feather spiral flu-flu and it has been much harder the last two years to get feathers long enough to work well.  I would like better than 8" of feather after trimming.  I used to get a lot of feathers that gave me 9".  I am wondering if the Turkey growers are not letting the birds grow them as big?  I heard they often cut back the primaries so the birds can't fly.

I thought domestic whites got so fat so fast that they could not fly anyway.

I do have some long wild turkey, but I use them on 'primitives' and I like the brighter colors for flu-flu anyway.

I have quite a few Tru-flight full-length feathers, mostly LW for $35/100 plus $3 sh.
Fletcher: regarding Gateways...they are less but so is there quality.  I used to sell them as well as Tru-flight.
I think I may also have some shorter pieces that would work for flu-flus. I'll check and re-post.
