Title: Feathers?
Post by: Iowabowhunter on January 20, 2024, 03:36:38 PM

What’s the best place to buy natural barred 4” parabolic feathers?

Holy smokes the prices have gone up on them since the last time I purchased

Not sure about current prices but I’ve had good luck dealing with Josh at wild fletching.

I ordered some from Josh, 54 was around 100 or so.

Just seems like feathers have gotten extremely expensive over the last few years

I usually cut my own to length and then burn them to shape with a feather burner.  Part of that is cost but the biggest part of it is I like to build fancy arrows and doing it myself gives me creative freedoms that buying arrows cannot.

I cut and grind my own. I have done goose too.

I just bought 2 hundred from laurel mountain outfitters. Great price and fast shipping
