I feel that Trueflight is the absolute best quality out there,so that is all we sell.

Just my opinion, but AMG quills are to rigid or stiff.

I have used both.  I sand the quills down on any feather I use.  I like them thin.

Grand daughter likes the brighter feathers that AMG offers and you know what they say, kinda, a happy grand daughter is a happy life!!

TrueFlight are the only feathers produced in the USA and their quality is unbeaten.  They are all I use.

I didn't know this. I love buying American,and I do think their feathers are the best.

I will admit that I have yet to try AMG but I can say that True Flight is better than Gateway. True Flight does a better job of quill prep.

True Flight for "barred" feathers. AMG seems to have brighter colors but I like Gateway flo yellow.
At the price of feathers I shop around according to what the use of the arrows will be.

I've been using the gateway "tre" camo colors lately. I bounce around from different manufacturers.

I do prefer Tru-flight and use them the most,but I have used them all from Gateway,AMG,Sagitarius and Bear Paw.I don't mix them though,I do prefer one brand for the same set of arrows that I would be making up at the time.

I have used both. I find them both to be good quality feathers.
If you are getting them pre-cut, AMG's are a little higher profile.
As others have said, the AMG's colors are brighter, and the quill definitely thicker.

They were less expensive last I bought them, but now I find them often as expensive as, and sometimes more than, the TruFlight's.
Made in the US also comes into play for me. These days I pretty much stick with the TruFlight's, preferring the thinner quills, along with the other factors.

I have used AMG, Gateway, and Trueflight. I have no problems with any of them. The Trueflight are definitely ground the best, but they are a lot higher priced too. I currently use Gateway because I found a bunch in the color I like for $10/100. Needless to say, I bought enough that I will be using Gateway for quite a while!

Tru-Flight for all full length, 5", and 5.5" feathers.  AMG for 3" and 4".  It is true that Tru-Flight is the only "made in USA" brand. That is a situation we really wish would change but don't see it happening.  Quills on AMG are stiffer but we can get away with it on the 3" and 4".

I'll concur that the quills on the AMG are thick and stiff. I prefer true flights, they are on my hunting arrows. The AMG are on practice arrows

I don't like AMG at all..too thick of base.

Tru flight and Bearpaw have been very good to me.

I have been very happy with Tru Flight.

Thank You  ALL for your input! I was just checking because some are a Wee Bit Cheaper than the Other. There is yet another case for "Cheaper isn't Always Better!"
 Lost Nation will always get My Orders too! So I am biased....   :archer:

I don't know about the AMG, but I can say that the Bearpaw have been good for me..  Not a bad price either.  May sound bad, but i have no problem paying less for non american made, as long as the quality is there.  Which is why I shoot Bearpaw.

I'm sure both are great quality, and I've never had issues with Gateway either. But for the past couple years I've been buying from a different manufacturer that I feel is as good as Tru Flight at less than half the cost of some retailers.

Sagittarius Archery. They were at Comptons a few years back selling full length feathers for $20/100. I should have bought a bunch of them at the time. I think they get $35/100 now. You should be able to find them with a Google search.

I've used all 3 I've had no problems with any of them.
I have however seen thick portions of quill and thin portions of quill with gateway more than the others. However I've used more gateway than the others. So the sample group might be what makes the difference.  The average shooter might get some feathers here and there. The people who sell them or fletch for a living see them by the thousands. And they will know best.

We only stock the Truflight because that is what everyone seems to want.

I just made a major purchase of TruFlight feathers buying out another distributor. I will post here when I have them available. There is over 70,000 feathers in the lot and I will be pricing them to move.
This sounds like a lot, but in a normal year, we would sell more than this, I just wouldn't purchase them all at once.

Please give me time to get them in and sorted out before calling. Again, we will post them here and on our website probably around the end of this week or beginning of the next.

thanks, bigjim
