I have been looking also.  So far the info I have found points to them being a good feather at a good price.  I have found some real good prices, but I have not been able to find shield cut 4". Only shield 5" and parabolic in 4".

I have used some AMG feathers on the last couple of dozen arrows.They were very uniform in length,height and bright colors.And they were reasonably priced and good quality.I will buy them again.

3 rivers now carries 5" shield AMG. AMG are fine feathers, much better than Gateway IMHO, and almost as good as Trueflight, I think TF bases maybe a little more consistent. As said before excellent feather with bright colors!

Tru-flight---Very good!

AMG--Almost as good!

Gateway---poor (much thicker bases and not as uniform; harder to get consistent in my experience)

Thanks for the info, I have been looking for the best prices and 3 rivers seems to have it for 100ct. Have you guys found any better prices?

Funny - I have just used tru-flight and gateway (some odd nuber of found feathers from game birds) but me also would say gateway-poor. Need to give those AMGs a try.

AMG feathers are excellent. Bowhunters Superstore sell them for $19.95 for a 100 pack.

Does anyone sell full length AMG feathers?
Title: Re: AMG Feathers
Post by: anw0625 on January 08, 2010, 11:59:00 AM
Jason Wesbrock 3 rivers has them for $35 per 100

anw0625,

Thanks, but Kustom King has Trueflights for $32.65 per 100. Given those two choices, I'd rather spend less money for better quality at Kustom King.

With most retailers charging $20 or so per 100 for AMG die cuts, someone should have full lengths for $25 or so. Do you know if anyone else sells them?

There was a vendor at Comptons last year called Sagittarius Archery that was selling nice full length feathers for $25 per hundred. I wonder if those were AMGs. I found their web site, but it doesn't mention who makes their feathers.

Joe skip is who you need to talk to he has full lenght and is really reasonable.

I agree with Avid Archer.

Bases could be a bit more consistent, but overall, a very decent feather for the money. I fletched up a dozen CE 150's and proceeded to beat the crap outta of them at the Muzzy. Then put two in a deer. One feather, just one lost about a half inch of quills. The rest are perfect.

Joe Skipp has some good deals on them.

AMG does not have as many options as TF and Gateway.  AMG is a US company but they get their feathers ground overseas due to the3 ridiculous difference in labor prices.  I love the AMG colors but I wish they would cut a 4" shield.

AMG is very easy to deal with and if your archey shop carries anything by AMG they can probably order any of the sizes and colors.

We carry the AMG's, I love 'em.  All I've used since we got them.  The colors are brilliant, the cuts and quills very good and durability is good too.

JRW, I think Sagittarius produces their own feathers, I don't believe they're AMG's.

We carry 5" shields, AMG doesn't make a 4" shield unless they are a new item for 2010 I don't know about.  They also make a real good camo feather that looks more natural, much like a barred but they won't make them in the 5" shield no matter how much I beg.

Does amg have a website?

AMG is a distributor for us who build and sell arrows and archery products, It is not a retail dealer to the public. The company is very easy to deal with and we can order you most any feather you need. They do not make the AMG fletch in barred as of yet but I for one an working on them! They do have some wild camo fletching that had very nice color combos. My son loves these.
