If it will work I think it should look good.

I believe it is traditional for some Asian arrows. It will make a nice, low fletch.

Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

The primary wing feathers work well and make beautiful feathers but they are short and narrow and will only make a low or regular profile fletch and usually only 4 or 5 will make a 5 inch feather.  I have found that just about anything that flys will make fletching some are better than others but feathers are everywhere.

I have never tried tail feathers only wing feathers they probably wouldnt do well making a helical fletch.

MAKES YOU WONDER IF YOU COULD USE THEM AS A FLU-FLU??  :confused:

I bet the wings would work great if you four fletched.  I know some of mine aren't very big.
