Mixing Feathers

<< < (2/3) > >>

Cacatch:
I've not seen any problems in my experiences. When I was first starting out years ago, I used whatever feather I could find - turkey, pigeon, chicken, goose. I even put some feathers on backwards, just so that the curvature would all be the same on the arrow, and used several diferent combinations. They all flew just as good as my all-right or all left wing secundary turkey feathered arrows do now. Just make sure they are all curved the same, trim to equal size, and use whatever you got!

Hillbilly:
I commonly use goose feathers with a turkey cock feather or vice versa, no problems. I guess if you had feathers that were radically different, might cause some flight issues.

That's about what I figured.  I was just thinking about it is all.  Couldn't imagin it really being that much of a problem since nobody ever mentions it.  Just human nature to overthink things.  I NEVER do that!   ;D

Thanks again everyone.

 I don't think it really matters if your arrows are tuned to your bow properly.
