Tell me when to stop
 
 
 
 
The contents of the arrow barrel changes over time but it always has lots of barred wild turkey feathers in it. There's no better arrow fletching on earth in my opinion. The only downfall I can find is they aren't very visible in flight.

As for durability. Turkeys are tough and so are their feathers.

Here are my Turkey Flight Traditional feathered Microflite fiberglass arrows.  Matt Gundock's feathers are top notch.

Matt's feathers are top notch.

You should take a peek at his goose feathers also.

Thanks Brad,  I love those arrows in your first pic.  That Robin Egg blue crown is really sharp on arrows.  Awesome work my friend.

I just finished up a few last night for the upcoming turkey season.  Kinda non traditional but they turned out okay.
