Good guy to deal with. Their hand painted feathers are awesome and make great gifts.

I get the #2 grade primaries. For the most part, the flaws that make them #2 grade will get cut off anyway.

The trick is to find an archery friendly farmer and be there at the right time to do him a favour by taking away for free what he would have to pay to dispose of.
