Post by: jon on March 07, 2008, 11:30:00 AM
Does anyone have a source for Banana cut feathers? 3 Rivers dropped them from their catalog.

I was looking for some also. Anybody have any suggestions? I may have to buy a chopper and do them myself....

Herb (Herb's Archery) is a sponsor here and advertises custom cutting service.

Lot of guys speak highly of him.  From reading posts, I know JC uses him for 'nanners.

Did Herb build the chopper you use to chop your 4 inch low profile nanners you were showing on the post by Dr. Ashby about fletching for extreme FOC. I really liked the looks of them and may want to try to get or make some.

La.bowhunter, you can convert the large nanner choppers to cut smaller ones. I use contact cement to glue a leather shoe lace against the bottom plate. That shortens them nicely. You can also stack two and shorten them more. I just did that to cut a bunch. They come out to about 4 1/4" x 5/8". I use four fletch and get great flight from them. The laces can be removed if you ever need to cut big ones again. I'm using the "Little Chopper" from 3 Rivers.

Danny, that is a great suggestion for chopping the smaller ones, I'm going to give that a try.   :thumbsup:
