Title: Crow feathers
Post by: DeerBacon on February 21, 2013, 08:43:00 PM
Anybody have any success with crow feathers for fletching? Maybe my next crow hunt will help stock up my arrow building supplies? 2 birds with one stone! Any pics out there? HAPPY HUNTING!!!

NMy guess is lower durability than turkey but shoudl work. Why not. I think any feather is ok, turkey is just toughest.

Got a bud that had a,set of arrows with crow feathers. He shot them very well.

I tried it.  They worked but are quiet a bit softer than a turkey feather.  Not as durable is a better way to put it.

I used to collect crow feathers. But they were so much "softer" than turkey feathers, I never did anything with them.

Used to crow hunt lotz and tried them years ago and concur with Shifting Shadow. They'll work, but too soft to make a decent arrow, but they do give off a cool color shimmering effect in the right light though...8^)
