Feather Burner

<< < (2/2)

osage outlaw:
I just bought 3 of those ribbons from 3rivers.  I hope to build a burner soon.

Justin Snyder:
The biggest drawback to the burner is definitely the smell. I have on occasion gotten the ribbon to close to the shaft and burned the shaft. Not a big deal but if you crest the back and burn the paint it isn't pretty.

Ted at Raptor Archery spent 5 minutes trying to talk me outa buying the Young's Feather Burner.  Finally I asked him if the customer's money was ever not green enough for him and he relented.  Best buy I ever made, three my feather choppers in the trash after the first dozen arrows. 

Yeah, it stinks to use.  So what, I rarely lack enough breeze outside to use the bloody thing.  I can do three dozen arrows in about three minutes, and every last one matches perfectly to the one before it and the one after it.

_Jon_:
I use the one at my club.  :-)

Always a lot of hot air around that place.  So the smell is not an issue ::)

Honestly I tried a chopper and never did it right.  A like using a burner a lot more.  Matter of fact I have a dozen cane arrows I got for Christmas from David Knight I put some turkey feathers on and I plan to use the burner this weekend.

JW_Halverson:
Just burned two dozen yesterday morning.  The trick is to get the breeze blowing in from the side.  If it is blowing into your face that is bad, but when it is at your back the smoke gets swirled up and hangs in your face without mercy!  *hack*hack*wheeeeeze*
