use whole uncut white feathers for the two hen feathers and a homemade c0ck feather. I found 7 good looking specimens (one is a spare)
Posted Image
split them to get rid of the side that I won’t need.
Posted Image
find the best section in the middle of the length and cut off the ends
Posted Image
Because the split base is way to thick I need to thin them down.
Posted Image
use a belt sander with a fine grit belt because the bases are pretty soft. finish them with a sanding block
Posted Image
The thinned feather is a lot less beefy.
Posted Image
Next cut them to their finished length.
Posted Image
After fletching, use a feather burner to give them their shape

Looks to good to shoot, taking a animal with one of those will be especially rewarding. Show us the pics when you connect with one.

That is sooooo cool. Who would have thought, feathers on the back of an arrow. Do they work well?
