Well it was my first test with Gateways feathers tonight. I have always used trueflights.

Think I will be going back....So many of the feathers I got were not cut very well and either tooooo wide or tooo skinny.

Anyone experience this.

BowHuntingFool

Yes, just tonight as well, I went from always using Gateway to True Flight and I won't be going back! I love the True Flight, the bases are pretty consistent compared to the gateway!

I was getting ready to buy some feathers so this is nice to know. Jason

I have personally had poor luck with Gateways as well. They are not well cut and do not hold up very well for me.

I think I will stick to Trueflight of wild turkey.

I haven't shot the TF's yet, are they pretty durable??? I'm hoping so....

I'm on the True Flight band wagon as well. Never had a reason to change.

I got some Gateways before I read up on them.  They are my first so hard to say, but the consistancy of the base was not as good as I think it could be.  I have AMG on the way.

AMG feathers are far better IMHO than Gateway, and almost as good as True Flight.

I use them all and found them to work fine.But I don't like to mix them,I'll use all Tru-flight or all Gateway or all AMG.I use the feathers I have on hand when I plan to fletch some new arrows.

I only buy full length and chop all my feathers.
I find Gateway a little easier to get a good chop on. Once the feather is on the arrow I can't tell the difference in either flight or durability.
Those wanting to get rid of full length, right wing Gateway feathers can sell them to me, at a discounted price, of course   :D

I use truflights also but I have been looking at trying feathers from Sagittarius Archery.  They have their own cut.  Anyone use these feathers?  They are a lot cheaper than truflight and gateway.  $22.00 a hundred.

The bases on Gateways tend to run thicker.I've used them all and like them all.Sometimes I do sand down the Gateways though.I buy full length.
