Chicken Feathers?
Swamp Bow:
Thanks everyone, I'll give it a whirl.
Pat B, did you tie those in by the tip with the feather coming off of the back of the arrow and then fold them over to tie the off up front?
Jackcrafty, So do the arrows fletched with Guinea still squawk incessantly? I won't raise those $#@! again. I thought peafowl were noisy, I was wrong! >:(

Mine where like that neighbors car alarm that goes off every five minutes, you just ignore them. These guys just never shut up, it was just a constant drone. I finally sold them. I warned the lady and she said that they would calm right down once they got around her birds. Told me she had kept lots and lots of them and she knew guineas. Who was I to argue. Found out later they drove her nuts too and got rid of them as well. :D

Swamp, I have done them like you mentioned but usually I just lay the feather flat and bunch the end up and add a wrap to hold it in place, then lay another feather and add a wrap, etc. After the rear is secured I offset the feathers a few degrees and attach the front end as I did the rear. On the front end you want to make the wrap as smooth as possible and be sure to cover the quill to protect your hand on release.
