I use sheild cut,but would try banana in4".I don't see many sources of natural barred from the wild one,so if someone could offer them it could be a good business.

I would suggest natural barred/colored in a healthy variety.
By that I don't mean 10 different shades of brown, light/dark is enough..
Also more 4 inch cuts (please both banana and orca, as they are hard to find and very,
very sweet!
I would also suggest cresting colors/equipment and how-to's(from the homepage)

My biggest bellyache with feathers next to durability and consistency (IMO, far too many in any 100 count bag of Gateways have bases too narrow for a solid attachment to the shaft, or are cut so wide they don't fit in an EZ Fletch) is cost!  If he sells them for less that $37 per hundred I'll buy from him, period.

I like bright yellow, orange, or white 4" LW paras...

I currently cut my own nanners and clip the back end off to look like Dean's because they are so cool looking. Check out this clip and stop it at 2:07.    
You'll see what I mean. Mine are a little lower profile though.

Not to seam abnormal but what is the difference between a chopped feather and a burnt feather.What you get from 3R are they chopped or burnt.and don't say ones chopped and ones burnt please   :archer:

I would by 3 or 4 inch low profile bananna cut feathers. I hate chopping my own. Well,I really don't hate to do it but it would be nice if I could just buy them.

Well it looks like the standard shield and parabolic are still popular.

But a 1/2" high 4" nanner sounds like the one too start with.  

He comes over on Friday, I'll pass on the info.

We'll probably be carrying his feathers on our website and at our booth if he goes through with the business plan.

I second the 3or 4" A&A, especially white and powder blue, left wing, of course.

Why does everyone like banana cuts so much? Not being argumentative, just wondering what the appeal is.

Nanners here too. Snakeeater. For me, nothing more than the look really. Also, you don't see as many on shafts.

there was a whole thing about low profile nanners and EFOC back a bit ago......

also if i remember correctly, the same length and height in comparison to other cuts is supposedly quieter.

I don't remember the specifics, so please stay calm if i didn't remember correctly.  :notworthy:
