Title: Turkey Feather question?????
Post by: stringstretcher on September 11, 2007, 11:22:00 AM
Today I am pulling, stripping, cutting, all my tuekey feathers given to me this spring.  I have 107 full length left wing primaries, and just getting started on the secondaries.

My question is?  When you seperate the secondaries, lets say a left wing,saving the widest part, how many of you then take the other side, the narrow part and use that for a right wing or will they work?  Just don't want to throw away good usuable feather is why I am asking

Both sides if the secondary feathers are good for arrows. The "back" side will not match with the front sides so keep them seperate. They will be like right wing feathers. Pat
