Dont know if it will work has anybody used Pheasant feathers for fletching?
If so which ones?
If it will work I think it should look good.
Thanks
I believe it is traditional for some Asian arrows. It will make a nice, low fletch.

The primary wing feathers work well and make beautiful feathers but they are short and narrow and will only make a low or regular profile fletch and usually only 4 or 5 will make a 5 inch feather. I have found that just about anything that flys will make fletching some are better than others but feathers are everywhere.
Thanks for the replys.
What about the tail feathers?
I have never tried tail feathers only wing feathers they probably wouldnt do well making a helical fletch.
MAKES YOU WONDER IF YOU COULD USE THEM AS A FLU-FLU?? :confused:
I bet the wings would work great if you four fletched. I know some of mine aren't very big.
