Was wondering if anyone used Bearpaw feathers and what opinions are out there pro or con. Thanks

Pretty sure there was a recent post on this. Try a search if you haven't already      me personally I like true flight.
 I tried the bearpaw before, they were fine.

I've used them quite a bit.
I found them to be every bit as good as trueflight.
Very nice bases that are uniform and not too thick.
I have only bought full length so I can't speak for the pre cuts.

I haven't, but have read many good things about them. I've used either Trueflight or Gateway's, and am satisfied with both.

Thanks guys for your opinions. I did a search and found some more posts on them. Been a Truflight user for some years and just trying to save a buck with out the quality compromise. I really like a consistent grind on my feathers. Thanks again.

Last bunch I had had little tiny holes throughout--- I've seen this before-- bugs.  I left them sealed and returned to kk for a partial refund.  Not as pretty as truefight imo.

The colors weren't quite as vibrant on the Bearpaws I bought compared to the TruFlights. I preferred the TruFlights.

Steve.....AMG. Good quality, bright colors, nice bases and cheaper than Trueflight. I sold hundreds of AMG feathers and all my arrows are now fletched with them.
