knowing feathers

[ECRESS]

How can i know left from right wing turkey feathers i find on the gruond in the woods?

Go to Raptor archery. Ted gives a good explanation on his web site.

Hold them with the wider part of the feather on top. If you point the quill (part that came out of the bird) away from you it will curve to the left for a left wing feather or to the right for a right wing feather.

Yup, I guess I didn't explain it very well. The picture is worth everything I wrote, plus a thousand words! Thanks, magnus.
