Well it was my first test with Gateways feathers tonight. I have always used trueflights.

Think I will be going back....So many of the feathers I got were not cut very well and either tooooo wide or tooo skinny.

Anyone experience this.

Yes, just tonight as well, I went from always using Gateway to True Flight and I won't be going back! I love the True Flight, the bases are pretty consistent compared to the gateway!

I was getting ready to buy some feathers so this is nice to know. Jason

I have personally had poor luck with Gateways as well. They are not well cut and do not hold up very well for me.

I think I will stick to Trueflight of wild turkey.

I haven't shot the TF's yet, are they pretty durable??? I'm hoping so....

TrueFlights are my choice, too.

I'm on the True Flight band wagon as well. Never had a reason to change.

I got some Gateways before I read up on them. They are my first so hard to say, but the consistancy of the base was not as good as I think it could be. I have AMG on the way.

Let me know how they work out Ive been lookin at AMG at 3rivers.Anybody else use them?

AMG feathers are far better IMHO than Gateway, and almost as good as True Flight.

I dont see any difference...PR

I use them all and found them to work fine.But I don't like to mix them,I'll use all Tru-flight or all Gateway or all AMG.I use the feathers I have on hand when I plan to fletch some new arrows.

Tru-Flight for a TRUEFLIGHT!!

Gooserbat · « **Reply #13 on:** January 23, 2010, 12:05:00 AM »

I vote for Trueflight

m midd · « **Reply #14 on:** January 23, 2010, 01:33:00 AM »

True flight as well

mjdglobal · « **Reply #15 on:** January 23, 2010, 02:09:00 AM »

Me thinks Trueflight.

Shinken · « **Reply #16 on:** January 23, 2010, 02:27:00 AM »

TRUEFLIGHT for 30+ years!

Shoot straight, Shinken

I only buy full length and chop all my feathers.
I find Gateway a little easier to get a good chop on. Once the feather is on the arrow I can't tell the difference in either flight or durability.
Those wanting to get rid of full length, right wing Gateway feathers can sell them to me, at a discounted price, of course :D

I use truflights also but I have been looking at trying feathers from Sagittarius Archery. They have their own cut. Anyone use these feathers? They are a lot cheaper than truflight and gateway. $22.00 a hundred.

The bases on Gateways tend to run thicker.I've used them all and like them all.Sometimes I do sand down the Gateways though.I buy full length.
