I guess this has been out here for over a month, but I will bring it back up.

Does anyone know how to get/make 4 inch banana feathers???

Thanks,
Brett

A vario clipper would definately help...or a feather burner, if you can make the shape you want...

Try Mike at the Nocking Point....
He cut me some 5" Banannas High back, Wont hurt to ask him if he can make 4" Low ones....And he will just cut as many as ya want.
   Let me know I was thinking of 5" low ones....

How many do you need?  I'll check my supply or you are welcome to borrow my chopper.

I have a 5.5" High-Back Banana "Little Chopper". What I do is glue a strip of flat-sided leather shoe lace to the base plate with contact cement. It's just wide enough that when I butt the feather up against it and cut the feather I get a nicely shaped 4 1/4" Nanner that is just about 5/8" high. I fletch with 4 of them and get great flight. They also look good, to me anyway. The leather lace can be pulled off if I need to cut the bigger ones again. Not sure if it works well with 3 fletch, you might have to use a full length low-profile for that.
  3 Rivers just started selling a Low Profile Nanner Chopper. It measures 5 3/4" base, 3/4" tall. They get $20.50 for it.
  I have a bunch of full length around. Left and right. If you want PM me your address and if you want right or left, and I'll send you enough to do-up a few arrows to see if you like them. That is if you use four fletch. If you like them then you could invest in a Chopper.
  Another option is to trim full-sized Nanners to size with scissors.

I have used my banana cutter to reduce the size.  I cut either the front or the back  and then move the cut feather it up or down the cutter and take another whack.  Mark the cutter when you get what you want and whack away.  I think Danny has a great way to reduc the height.

This must have been posted at the wrong time of year to be noticed...

I chop bananas at 1/2" or 5/8" high...  The 1/2" end up about 4" long.

I use left wing feathers -- make contact if you still want some.
