burn or chop feathers? I am asking what you are putting on arrows that you sell.
Have a twenty year old burner going strong.
Chop.
Choppers give me repeatable results from one set to another. A gang of choppers is less expensive than a gang of burners.

Burn. Any shape, any length
both...

what kind of choppers do you use?
Little Choppers.
I thought about getting into the Vario when it was available but the per unit price was too high. Now, since the Vario has disappeared from the market, I'm glad I stayed with the tried and true.

Burn. I was taught by my mentor, who was the NY State Field Archery Champ when i was in High School. He said that burning is the only way you know all the feathers are exactly the same or as close as you can get to it. I think he's right.
Burner, a lot of burners are expensive but a
lot of ribbons are cheap
Burn'em! Only need one burner, ribbons are $2 ea. Only thing better would be smoke free.

Burner, you can do any shape and the ribbons are dirt cheap. I like the smell of burnt feathers but hey that's just me.
I too use them both, but for consistency I prefer to burn them.
I have used both, started with a burner but have since switched to a lil chopper. I like the burner because it will melt the ends of the feathers like you do with a rope when you cut it, the feathers wont wear down as quick going across the shelf. BUT, my wife like the chopper since it doesn't stink the house up :) Guess i'll just keep picking my battles and keep making her happy...alot of bow out there to try!
I either chop or buy cut fletching.
