Can I purchase them anywhere? All my waterfowl friends have discarded theirs.the idea behind using goose feathers is three fold - they make great fletchings, they're free, and they're quite water resistant. it'd be a bummer to hafta pay for 'em.Are they as durable as turkey feathers when stumping?absolutely!Should I cut them into 5" shields, or would they perform better as Flu-Flu's? i never use flu-flus, but don't see why they wouldn't work as such. i've cut them for 4" to 5.5" fletchings - banana, parabolic, sheild and scissor cut primitive.What chopper does everyone recommend?if yer dabbling in fletch chopping, li'l chopper. there are others that are way more costly and will probably last longer.
