Title: Spliced Feathers
Post by: bkbk12 on January 02, 2012, 03:35:00 PM
Just wondering if anyone has a video or a good pictoral diagram of how to splice feathers. I really like the way they look but hear there a pain to do, if not is there anyone out there that sells them I would just buy them thanks guys for any input.

Jim Rebuck of J & M traditions has a great DVD on arrow building and feather splicing
called "Advanced Arrow Building" its really detailed filmed really well and easy to fallow along with, you can get the DVD from ********* archery or just call jim and marcie they can send you one, i think you can get it cheaper from jim and marcia

I just did the membrain splice yesterday.  It took all of 1 feather to learn how to do it.  Below the pictures is a quick how-to.

Have fun, and if you have any questions feel free to ask.

Trad 4 life, does that video discuss peeling the membranes, butt splices, or both?

Beautiful arrows!

For the arrow sellers here:  can you consider selling some of your cutloffs or trims  to some of us to try this?   You know a dozen or so trims that we could buy to try this without costing good feathers.  Many on budgets would appreciate it

Won't need to look far if you do this to your arrows.

I picked up this DVD from Jim a few years ago at a shoot. Best couple of bucks I've spent on arrow making hands down.
