What Brand Feathers Do You Prefer??

[Firstlight]

I only use Trueflight but that is only because that is what I started with a long time ago.  Back when they were a lot less expensive I bought four hundred full lengths and I still have some left.

I use a chopper as well.  I use a rubber mallet to activate the "chop".  Works for me.  5in shield cut.

Real turkey feathers sent to Magnus. He ground and treated some for me last year and they are a cut above any other commercially available feathers. The bases and cuts were noticeably better than Trueflight.

Nala go to the sponsor classifieds and you will find him there and type him an e-mail. Magnus is his avatar that's why you came up with broadheads. His real name is Matt Gundock.

Nala,
Magnus is Matt's handle here on TG. He does nice work.

I am trying to find info on these MAGNUS feathers and can't find a thing.  I went to the MAGNUS web page and there isn't a thing on there about feathers, only broadheads.

Checked a search engine and nothing came up.

What's the deal with these feathers?

First page, third post.    :D

Don't you have to bend a wire in the shape you want to cut them?  Is that the kind of CHOPPER you are talking about?

Thanks

The wire device you are thinking of is probably the Young Feather Burner.  Mine cost me ninety bucks a few years back.  All the major trad suppliers stock them.

The chopper is less expensive and is the best choice in the long run >IF< it is your intent to use one length and profile of feather exclusively.

I like 5 1/2 and 6 inch feathers and burn them to the desired profile.  Profile and length are easy to change and the left over piece can be used for other arrows such as the ones I make for the grand kids.

But, once again, if you will use one length and one profile the chopper is the best way to go.

I've used Gateway and Trueflite for years. Seem to work fine. Perhaps I'll look into the others.

I use nothing but Trueflite, really don't like the base on the Gateways, they are really wide ranging on thickness and width. I also like the AMG. I got some from Magnus and they were really great!

4" Sagittarius Feathers on my arrows. Magnus in the back ground.
