Feathers...Whats on your arrows ?
NorthernArcher:
I've used Turkey primaries, secondaries, and tail feathers, as well as goose and peacock primaries. Most of my arrows are fletched with goose, as they are readily available in my neck of the woods. I currently have one hunting arrow fletched with barred turkey primaries, and three target arrows fletched with peacock fletchings, which are a nice cinnamon color. Wild turkey secondaries are excellent for making flu-flu arrows, but they do wear out quickly, so I have started saving all my secondaries, as well as primaries that I 'ruin' by making them too short, for kids arrows. As soon as I have some time, I'll take a picture of the arrows I recently made for my nephew and post them here, as well as the arrows forum. They're a mixed bag of peacock, turkey, and goose fletching.
Here's a pic of the Peacock primaries. They're real sturdy, and real quiet. Nice feathers!

Nice looking fletching job,those feathers ain't coming off. Good work. Frank

Goose, duck and turkey so far. Duck primaries are soft but work well full length for 2-fletch. I am going to try magnolia leaves next for quicky split-shaft cane arrows. I am hoping they will work and hold up for 20 shots. I'll let you know.

Wow, what a gorgeous color on those arrows! I'm jealous.
