Feathers: Trueflight or Gateway?

[Red Dwarf]

I am in need of some fletchings: Is there any difference in the quality from these two suppliers?

I have always found the True flight feathers to hold up and last longer. Cannot tell you why, just what I have found.

I find that Gateway feathers break at the spine a lot and if you like barred feathers the dye only shows up on one side most of the time.  I say True Flight.  I never had a problem with them.

Does anyone know of a Trueflight supplier in Western Canada?

Just get them from 3Rivers or Kustom King.

And yes, huge difference. Go to whatever trouble it requires. True Flight is better.

Trueflight are just plain better- easier to work with, looks.

I was about to start a thread like this.  Here is my .02 worth.

Pro's Trueflight: Great Quality, quills ground nice a smooth.  Barred feathers fantastic.

Con's Trueflight: High Priced, Could use a few more brighter colors.

Pro's Gateway:  Great Price, Many bright colors,
Tre Camo Colors and Fantastic.

Cons' Gateway:  Quills are thick and not smooth, Barred look not so great, may find a bad feather or two out of a hundred.

I have not found if one will out last another longer or not.  You can not mix Gateway and Trueflight.  

I will be adding Gateway feathers to my website shortly, I will have LW Shield cut.
