First arrow I ever made had peahen feather fletching. I put a .38 case on the front and painted it black, for shooting crows. We had about five peafowl around the barn down in Chesapeake, and I used to gather the feathers. The cock's wing feathers are a wonderful chestnut color, and I gotta line up a source for them.

Made a headdress out of peahen tail feathers, too.   :D
Uh, make that two... this is the second one. The first one had horns.

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.
