I just finished up this set of Tonkin Bambo arrows. They are fletched with Turkey and Peacock feathers. I did most of the work on these late at night because I have been so busy with other projects. When the wife fell asleep I'd sneak out to the garage to work on them. Often I'd be out there until midnight. I wanted to get them done before the Tennessee Classic.

Those are cool. Where did you get peacock fletching?

Nice work!

Some friends gave me the feathers. I cut and ground them.

You did a fantastic job

Never thought of trying a peacock feather before. I have a friend that has a few of the pretty birds and maybe I can get some when they molt.

I liked them. They are kind of in between a turkey primary and secondary as far as stiffness. The quill seemed softer and easier to work than a turkey feather.

Thanks for the kind remarks guys!

Nice arrows. I use peacock feathers quite a bit. They turn out some nice fletching.

I may cry if I hear one of those "ring" down by the creek! Great use of the peacock. Only good use I've ever seen of one. They sure are not good to eat.

I think I'll use an old arrow for the iron fox target.
