I don’t have much access to turkey feathers unless a friend remembers to not leave the wings and tail in the field.  So I fletch mostly with goose feathers.  I’m a simple man and don’t care to cut and grind feathers down. I fletch with a pocket knife and scissors. 

Waiting to make some time to make some trade points to put on these and see how they fly. 

Trapper Rob:
Looks nice can't wait to see them finished

Don W:
the next arrows i make i plan to try this.

bjrogg:
That’ll work. I should probably use goose to. I have in the past. I have pretty good access to either.

Just curious. Have you ever shot them without any fletch first to see how they fly? When I make arrows I usually fletch them last. I like to shot them bare shaft first to see if I should change anything.

The first time I shot one bare shaft for me was a huge eye opener

I ordered a 20 piece bundle of wild turkey tail feathers from a Chinese vendor. Free shipping but takes a month or more to get here at best.

When I made my first arrows I used a two feather fletching from Turkey feathers given me by a neighbor who raised turkeys. These were uncommonly accurate arrows compared to store bought arrows. I used viburnum shafts cut from my own hedge. I put a strong spiral on these.

I have some good viburnum shoots I cut many years ago. It they aren't brittle with age I'll use them now.
First I'm going to re do the fletchings of some carbon shafts and three older Easton aluminum shafts in the same manner.
