Wanted - Feathers for Fletching

[KRF1963]

Hi all and festive greetings!


Santa delivered me a longbow yesterday and I started to think about making some arrows to go along with the half dozen that came with it.

Does anyone have access to suitable primary feathers from suitable birds that I could have a play with?

Many thanks

Keith

Would pheasant feathers be suitable? If so, PM me your address and I'll send you out a load.

You need pretty strong feathers to make a durable fletch. Goose, turkey etc.
Its easier just to buy them if you are lazy like me Not that expensive either. Definitely buy some fletching glue too. Superglue works but sticking your fingers together to to feather isnt much fun.

No, but you could ask a local butcher, even one in a supermarket may be able to knock you some up if you ask nicely, good luck brother!
