Title: need feathers for youth arrows
Post by: trapperDave on November 27, 2008, 12:36:00 AM
My son and daughter want Santa to bring em some new arrows for Christmas. Where can I get some 2-3 inch LW feathers in pink/purple/black/yellow?

I figure some 1/4 dowels from 3rivers will do for arrows, but they only have 4 inch and up feathers

Send me a PM I think I can help you out! Chris

Also save some money and buy your dowels from Lowes unless you want cedar.

I can help with some 4" feathers. When I make small youth arrows I just cut the backs down to the length I want. Send me a PM with your addy if you can use some. Albert

What I do is always buy full length feathers.  That way, whenever I make arrows for myself, I have leftover pieces to make matching arrows for the kids.  I also use the short pieces to make flu-flu's.  If they are shorter than you want just line up a couple pieces in the clamp and glue them on like that. (for flu-flu's they dont' have to be pretty they just get lost anyway.)  You can also use the short pieces for splicing if you want to make some fancy arrows.
