I usually use TF but recently I tried the Bearpaws. They are as good as TF btu their barring in abhorrent, but I love their solids.

I use mostly Trueflights and some AMG.  AMG's lack a little of the Trueflight quality but are pretty good for the most part.  Most of it is with the thickness of the quill.  Gateway I wouldn't even consider a viable feather to put on an arrow unless your just killing stumps.  The grind on them is horrible.  I haven't counted up this year, but most years I fletch about 60,000 feathers a year most are trueflight but some are AMG and I can tell you honestly that there is a higher scrap rate with AMG feathers than Trueflight.  AMG I scrap 3-5 per 100, TF I scrap 5-10 per two thousand.  Trueflights are great quality and American made. dino

Prices are becoming scary these days,   but yeah.....True Flights can't be beat!

My last round I bought AMG.  I hadn't built arrows in a while and was skeptical as I had never heard of them.  But they were what was available in the size, color, etc.  they have turned out great and will not be skeptical again.  They have also held up perfectly.
