<< < (2/2)

Pat B:
Brian, you can use 3" to 4" long feathers with this style fletching.

blindarcher:
Thanks all!  I will give it a try.

txdm:
Duck feathers work great.

JW_Halverson:
Duck feathers are legal to use. However, just remember that you cannot buy, sell, or even trade them, not even after they are installed on the arrows.

As for whether they were used, there is a Plains (attributed to Sioux) arrow in the Museum of the Fur Trade in Chardon NE with a mallard secondary for one of the feathers. It's one of the metallic blue feathers.

BowEd:
Speaking about duck feathers.Nothing to do with arrows though.
I used a drake mallards crest put on my pipestone bowled/sumac stemmed piece pipe as a indicator of the 4 winds.
Here's a pic.
