I got a sample of the AMG's coming from 3 rivers and if they are ok I will order a bulk order from Joe.

Joe can I get a mix of fl orange and flo yellow or chartruese in the 100 pack?

thanks

I use Trueflight 90% of the time. With the Gateways, without exception... I have to regrind the bases.

Trueflight only.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.

I use all 3 brands.  I will have to agree True Flight has the best quality.  While AMG and Gateway has some of the brightest colors.  

Once on the shaft it's not easy to tell the difference.

The bases are prepped so much better on Tru-flites

I have been using the GW feathers for almost 10 years. I picked up some TF feathers from Badger Arrow and I tell ya, what a pleasure they are to fletch with. Here is my first batch with the Tru-Flight feathers put on with fletch tape!

Jon, I don't think that's the right Sagittarius site   :knothead:  

I haven't been able to find one for Sagittarius Archery in Pasadena, CA.

I've only used Gateways and have never had any trouble with them on my 2117 shafts (fletch tite or tape).

I use gateway they are not as good as truflight but cost halph the money. For 3ds or range shooting I have not seen a differance I hunt with them also. I have not had that bad of an  experience with them to stop using them I mix them with truflight also with no ill effects.  Widow

I'm with Larry Yien on the Gateways. The camo colors are just too cool  :)  The ones I've bought in the past several months have been very good quality with pretty consistent bases. If I'm splicing feathers, I just choose feathers with the closest bases to do so with.
Going to be trying AMG on my own arrows, so we'll see how that goes.

I like the AMG feathers that I have purchased in the past from Joe Skipp (tradgang sponsor).  They were as consistent as True Flights.  He has some camo too.
