Title: Tail feather fetching
Post by: Youngboyer2(billyf) on April 20, 2012, 01:25:37 am

Will tail feathers work as well as wing?
And will they provide the same helical twist as wing or will they work like straight fletched vanes?

Tail feathers work just like wing feathers. Only difference is they dont hold up to abuse as well as wings.

I agree w/ sadie, the tail feathers make good woodland style arrows w/ two feather fletching. dp
