Title: goose feathers for fletching, any online sources?
Post by: Dogbyte on September 12, 2010, 02:28:00 PM
skulking around the ponds and hay fields take more time than i have to spare. this winter you bet i will be hitting up our local duck/goose cleaners for honker wings!

but does anyone have a favorite supplier online that sale good primaries for fletching? i looked, but i kept ending up on **** listings for bulk goose feathers, that werent necessarily for arrows, plus they were as high as a cats back.

im just now getting into fletching my own arrows, just trying to gather all the parts. i like the color and water proofing of goose, i'll tie fur tracers behind the dark feathers.

does anyone here favor goose over turkey at all? i seen the goose how-to, with tracers, but how many more folks here "like" goose?

When I am hunting there is always an arrow in my quiver with goose fletch.
I do not know of an online supplier, but Raven Arrows 208-256-4341 sells them and they will grind the ones you collect this winter.
