I use white Truflights for my target arrows, but I grind, dye and burn wild turkey feathers for all my hunting arrows.

I use Gateway because I got a steal of a deal on a bunch a few years ago. The quills are pretty inconsistent, but I do not have any problems keeping them on my arrows. At $10/100, I could not pass them up, and am kicking myself in the rear end for not buying all he had!

At 10$/100, I'd use starling feathers.

Can't vote. I use Gateway and Truflight but your poll only accepts one.

I use Saggitarius feathers. The best finished I have seen, no pointy ends, every feather in a 100pack is identical to every other, and the color saturation is great....very deep colors, reasonable prices. Not on the list to vote for. :(

I use whatever I have or get. Really doesn't matter to me. The ones I have now I believe are vintage, but If I have turkey feathers I use those.
Personally I dont see much difference between the different varieties. Some say better or worse, last longer or not, but Every different brand, has lasted longer than the arrow. my $.02.
no spot for me to vote in the pole.

Whatever I can get for the best price....free is best. Lately have a batch from BearPaw I have been using along with some natural goose and turkey feathers I got from another guy.
The goose I use in really wet weather...seem to have more natural oils to repel water...otherwise just coat the feathers with Gateway or Feather-Dri waterproofing powders.

TRUEFLIGHT is the only game is town..!! I shoot ALOT...! Gateway quill bases are too "plastic" and have had MANY feather failures....arrows with feather chunks/sections missing...just breaking away from the shaft............WILD TURKEY wing feathers are probably the BEST.....JMO....:-D
