how do you offset feathers ?
dragonman:
Its actually quite difficult on these commercial turkey feathers to see what side is the dullest, but on some hawk feathers I got its more obvious . I did an experiment today and threw an arrow with straight fletchings to see which way it span, and it spun in the opposite direction to an arrow I fletched as recommended above with the dull side angled down into the wind ??? this really confused me , I thought it would spin the same way but faster. How come it didnt?? ( if anyone is still listening)
El Destructo:
You meant Some Fake Hawk Feather............ ;)
dragonman:
no, El Destructo, these are real , sea eagle feathers fom Norway,and some vulture feathers I've got, I want to make some arrows from them, but I want to get things right and not waste them because they are hard to get.
El Destructo:
They are Illegal to have here in the States...without the proper Paperwork from the U.S. Government!
dragonman:
maybe they are illegal here too, I'm not up on these laws. I know for sure no birds where harmed getting these feathers, and thats really all I care about, whose gonna know anyway, the police are so dumb around here they wouldnt know one feather from another or even care. As a matter of interest, if you found a dead eagle over there in the States, would you use its feathers? how would anyone find out ? do they check out peoples feathers, or are people just very respectfull of the law, I'm just interested
