Banana feather source?
« on: July 29, 2015, 01:06:00 PM »
Not owning a feather chopper, anyone know of a good source for some low profile banana cuts?  I'd prefer colored like chartreuse.
Thanks guys.

Not too many of those around anymore.  3 Rivers carries banana choppers.  Can make your own fairly easily.  Just make a stiff, thin cardboard template and use a scissors to cut your own out of full length feathers. Of course, a feather burner works as well, but they are more costly.

I make my own on a feather burner never was a fan of the big 5.5 inch from a feather chopper they always seemed to slow my arrows down. I burn a real low 4 inch feather. Flys quiet and accurate.

Should have mentioned - Herb cut me low profile's; he'll cut them to the height and length you want. I looked around a lot for those myself.
