Nice looking fletching there chad.
-
impressive
-
Oooooo I like that!
-
most beautious!
-
those are cool!!
-
Wow - not sure how you are splicing those but it seems like a few more steps than I use. I just cut then to the length I want and put them together. Once they are on the shaft they look like they grew that way. Can you give a few details on the splice technique?
Nice looking by the way
-
Cool! Reminds me of a Pileated woodpecker(sort of).
-
Nice Job!!
-
Looking sweet, Butt spliced or membrane spliced?
-
Wish that I had the patience to do that!
-
Very nice work.
-
thanks for the compliments,it is a membrane splice.it is a little more work than a butt splice but its a clean looking splice and i think its worth it.i saw on a thread about goose feather how ferretWYO was splicing and so i gave it a try,so thanks to him for sharing.im working on some of the other colors i have and i will put up some pics of them.
-
Those are cool.
-
Nice, send us a picture or two when you have the arrows done.
-
Those will work great.
-
those are so sexy.

Very sweet looking!

Very Nice
-
would be interested in learning how to do that "membrane splicing" Those are sharp.Could someone help me on the membrane technique?
-
Just run a search on feather splicing, plenty of old threads on this subject. Also in the Build Along section it is covered.
-
Chad,
Fantastic, I too would like to give the membrane splice a try.
-
Wow! True artistry I'd say. Those look fantastic.
-

if u like yellow and the red -orange then combine them. i think they look pretty sweet all together
-
Those look cool, dont know whether they are gonna gobble at you or rattattatta like a wood pecker! LOL! Seriously, nice job.
-
Looks good Chad. I'm a big orange/orange barred or red/red barred fan too.
-
i managed to get the red and orange chopped,still working on the yellow.the pics dont do the orange justice,the orange is some amg feathers and its like hunters orange and is super bright even in low light just cant seem to capture it with my camera.i dont usually use amg,i like true-flights quality and grind just like the bright color and i grind all the base away and you can get a lot for a little!

Those are some beauties, can't wait to see them on your arrows.
-
Those are sweet. I am hoping to try splicing this winter. Great color combos.
