Title: feathers.......?
Post by: Florida bowhunter on September 13, 2014, 11:35:00 AM
which brand of feathers do you like gateway, true flight...I just got some bear paw from kustom king and I am impressed, feathers are all uniform and lay perfectly flat on the shaft...

Bearpaw and Trueflight are top quality with Bearpaw being less expensive.

Bearpaw seems just as good as trueflight at almost half the price. That said, I have 4" Gateways on my stumpers and can find nothing wrong with them either.

I still like Trueflight the best. Bearpaw is my second because their barring is atrocious. Gateway is my least favorite as I've had quality problems. I have never used AMG or Sagittarius.

Trueflights are my barred feathers, I like Sagittarius because they are good quality and the full length feathers are still full length.  I can usually get 2 - 5" cuts from one feather.

I like the Gateway. I use them on my arrows and they seem to work just fine, but I am still open to other brands as well. Gateway feathers do have draw backs they can be very stiff.

I use all the above mentioned brands as well. Tru flight for barred because the others look funny. Not onto camo designs either. I use the Gateway Flo. Yellow as I can get wraps from Onestringer that match perfect. I really like the Bear Paw red and yellow feathers I got.
Price of feathers these days is " button issue" with me so I will leave price out of my likes/dislikes.

I use mostly True flight and Bear Paw.  I really like the Bear Paw colors and the pricing is a little better.

Bear paw is all I use. Hard to beat the value

Truflight from the knocking point.  You won't get better people selling you better products.
