Josh's feathers are great! I switched to wild turkey feathers a few years ago, and I will say the upcharge is worth it! The wild feathers are much more water resistant due to natural oils in the feathers, and they seem to last a lot longer wear wise compared to normal store bought feathers.
Josh’s feathers are awesome, if you give him your turkey feathers and you shoot right wing for example, he will keep the left wing and the price is reduced accordingly. Also has a video on his site showing how he likes them prepped to send to him. Great stuff
Not knocking the product but you can do the same thing yourself with two blocks of wood, some screws with wing nuts, for making a form for holding the bottom of a split feather. Use a sanding block on the vane to sand the quill to desired thickness. Trim the width with an exacto knife held alongside a metal straight edge. Probably not as good, but you can dye feathers with Ritz cloth dye. Been doing it for years.
Have found hard to get two 5 inch feathers out of one full length feather, but works for 4 inch or a little longer. That fluorescent green is a hi-viz color for sure., It actually appears to glow in low light.
Good idea. Thanks for the info. I saved a bunch of the wing fearthers off the Tom I got last spring. Never done my own arrows or fletching. Hoping to get the time to take a crack at it this year. The satisfaction level harvesting game has got to go up knowing you are using arrows with Fletchings you also harvested.
If I get the turkey feathers I will do the same asking for just the bare feathers for atlatal stuff and making feathers for my brothers as well as my own arrows.
@@SamkoTradBow Yes, he needs feathers for some of his bows, he is looking at some and I am for the one bow that can't use the Foam rubber vane fletching due to the shape of the bow, I am trying to keep my arrows consistant. Yes they all use a more basic7075 or T--7075/7076 for the arrow type of Aluminum Alloy where I think the 7076 is like the T--7075.
@@SamkoTradBow been using them because they are easier to get than turkey feathers especially if your a waterfowl hunter I like to make as much of my own gear as possible the process is the same if you strip your own turkey feathers and it literally costs nothing to learn the art. Just for that reason alone you can save tons of money doing your own Turkey feathers once you learn can also turn a little profit along the way. 👍
Nice, but expensive. Thought regular feathers were ridiculous. Put these on your $25 shaft with your $35 broadhead and we’re shooting a $70 arrow lol. This stuff is getting insane.
Prices of everything archery related is getting stupid for sure. But it's very nice to have someone providing this service to turn your own turkey feathers into usable fletching.
This is why I use better Chinese made aluminum arrows with thinner shoot off shelf fletching to save money. For all but one bow 🏹 that needs feathers due to the shelf being a flatter curved shelf.
