Bear Paw Feathers
«

Searched and all I could find was a thread in 2011/2012 with great reviews. The price is definitely right but just wondering if the reviews are still as glowing 4 years later.
I noticed a couple of very very good arrow makers mentioned using them for their personal arrows which says a lot, again just wondering if this is still the case.
I need to place an order and like the barred look, just not the $100 plus price tag (per 100) for the brand I currently use.
Thanks!!

I have had good luck with bear paw. IMO they are comparable to gateway fletching in terms of quality at a cheaper price. I have fletched probably 3 dozen or so arrows with their fletching and had no complaints.

I liked the few dozen I've used, no complaints here. Great price. I'll buy them again.

My latest creations with Bearpaw feathers. I think they're a little softer / not quite as rigid as a Trueflight, but well worth the price. The grind on the bases are comparable (to TF) and better than Gateway in my opinion.

I've used some. Colors are good. I found them less durable, and definitely less consistent in quality than TruFlite's. Kind of a "good for the money" thing.

I am not a fan. I thought they were great at first but did not hold up as well. For a few bucks more I will stick with trueflight

I have bought about 400 of them. I like them a lot. I have completely used 100, and of those 100 I only had 1 feathers that I felt was lesser quality.

I used a few doz as well. I had no issues either. Better than AMG which I found OK for the money but not for long life.

I love them. I prefer them over trueflight or gateway, even laying the price aside. Its a no brainer really. Get them, you wont be sorry.

I have never used Bear Paw but I have been making my own fletching from wild turkey primaries for a couple years now. With that being said you may want to buy some wild turkey fletching from eckterling (TG SPONSOR). I can testify that the wild turkey fletching out last any other fletchings that I have used over the years. To boot, eckterling has been getting great reviews. Good luck, let us know what you go with and how they hold up for you.
