feathers
« on: July 27, 2015, 12:32:00 AM »
hope I'm not in the wrong place. I need some small feathers. 5-6" long whole feathers. For arrows to go with my mollegabet bow. To do a 2 whole feather fletch.

You can still cut a section out of a longer feather. Tail feathers are good for 2 fletch arrows.

There are smaller(4" or so) feathers in the wing that I have used for 3 and 4 feather tangential fletching with good results.

While getting my weed eater out I remembered I have a bag of goose feathers. Perfect !

The arrow on the right is smaller goose wing feathers in a tangential 3 fletch. I like to lay the feathers, back down, when doing these and 2 fletch. The feathers lay better against the shaft that way.
