Stripping feathers

<< < (3/3)

JackCrafty:
I just cut that part clean off. You only lose about an inch or so in fletch length.

Most turkey wing feathers are very long. If you need fletching that's 6" or more in length (for reproductions) it's better to grind anyway.

Digital Caveman:
Grinding takes longer, but I generally use that method because the fletching is generally just a bit sturdier.  It's also easier to recycle, though ideally the arrow should outlive its feathers.
