Feather Questions

[La. bowhunter]

Ok I am getting ready to quit buying feathers and make my own. Last year I saw on here a guy who grinds feathers but I cant remember his name can someone help me out with a good feather grinding person. Also I need to know how to get in touch with the folks who sell the Vario clipper and get me one. Thanks a bunch.

There is an article in the current TB magazine that is dedicated to grinding your own feathers.

Go to the Sponsors Classifieds and go down 10 or so posts to Trading Turkey Primarys and Grinding. Hap

What about the Vario clipper and getting in touch with them?

You can get what you need from these two sponsors on here.
Git-R-Done Archery in Canada sells the Vario Clipper
Custom Feathers is your turkey feather source

If you have a source of tukey or goos wings and the knack to do it yourself, they are fairly easy to split the quill with a razor knife.  Then I use a Jo-Jan straight clamp with extra clamps to hold thye feather tight.  I can trim a bit more with the knife if necessary and then sand the feather with a block of 150 grit.

I can make a feather from quill to fletch in less than two minute.  They glue on as well as commercal grinds.

I also buy a lot of Trueflight and Gateway by the 100 bag in standard colors.  But the naturals are getting very hard to find and spendy too!
