You can peel them off just like turkey feathers.  The ones I've done end up very thin and want to curl more than turkey feathers.  I prefere to cut and sand the shaft instead.

Make sure they aren't too dry. If you peel one and it runs off the side, cover the feathers in a damp towel for a little while and try it again.

cut them instead...its more consistent, in my opinion, than peeling. There is likely a tutorial on building a sanding jig...that makes it easy.

If not a tute on here, then someone can do one easily enough, or ref. the articles that have been in primitive archer and TBM on the subject.
