Have your tried Bear Paw?

Good Luck looking and if you find some, please post where you found them.  I'd like to try some too.

X2 on the Bearpaw. Kustom King (ad/link toward top of page) sells them. If you go to the webpage, look at the picture of the full length feathers. It is a little bit better representation of the true color. I have some that I put over some fluorescent orange wraps from Onestringer, they look great. Sorry at work and don't have any pics.

I just purchased a couple dozen from 3 Rivers. They are the brightest chartreuse I've used!

I've had a Young feather burner for as long as I can remember (I am 71). Over the years it has helped me get fletchings just right. Right now I have a friend who has a bunch of 5" shield feathers but he found that a 2.5" shield four fletch is the way to go for him. We just cut the 5" to length and he brings them over and I burn them down for him.

bearpaw are slightly more green than AMG.
AMG "glow" a little more.
Truflight chartreuse are more yellow than bear paw or AMG.

I was looking for a feather that was close to the "Monster" energy drink green.
Bearpaw was the closest....though the bear paw still wasn't quite as green as I hoped.

Here's a pic of AMG vs Bearpaw.
Hopefully your monitor will reveal the difference for you.

 

The bearpaw matches a flor. green nock pretty well...

 


Hope this helps..

If you take a photo of AMG Flo Green and their Chartruese, they look very similar. However, I have some Flo Green and they are Flo Green, not the yellowish or chart tint a photo may show.

I sell AMG and I call their flo green lime.  Their flo yellow is what I would call chartreuse.  And beware that colors are EXTREMELY difficult to reproduce in print or on the computer screen.
