Check out sagarchery.com.  Sagittarius Archery has the most uniform bases and best color saturation you will find anywhere.  Good competitive prices as well.

When you say natural do you mean naturally barred or just feathers?

Seems like there is someone on here that grinds feather for feather. He may have some in the wing you want.

Straight off the bird (washed preferably). I don't care about what they look like so barred or unbarred makes no difference to me. As long as they will make good arrow fletchings.

I should clarify a bit here fellas, I'm trying to get back into archery after selling everything I had when we moved here to Mexico to live. Having to buy everything all at once is a big chunk of coin. I'm not prepared to spend 2-3 USD for one feather......that's just nuts. I was kinda hoping to find an off shore source for them to avoid the North American pricing so I can get up and shooting asap. I have my bow, shafts and fletching jigs so far. I'm on a tight budget here like most folks now a days. I'm all about supporting the local businesses but sometimes I just can't afford that luxury.

I use left wing feathers, if you want a bunch of right wing feathers, PM your address and I'll send a bunch of Texas Rio primaries off to you.
