primary and secondary

I have been given some turkey wings and will be using them to fletch some rose shoot arrows.

 Looking at them, I was wondering if it was ok to mix primaries and secondaries on the same arrow if they came from the same wing??

 Like make the cock a primary with 2 secondaries or vicea versa. Yes, no, absolutely not?????

                Thanks, Lowell

I wouldn't, but if you have no choice, I'm sure it will be fine. The reason I woudn't is that the primamary feathers are stiffer. They will probably fly just fine, though.

wanabehunter:
ive mixed them up and they fly as good as my other arrows :)

lowell:
Thanks guys.   

  I have enough feathers to not have to mix them. The reason I asked was, the secondaries on the one bird were extra brown and thought it would look nice to use 2 secondaries and the primary for the cock.

 I'm much more concerned with how they would fly than looks but if I could have both I'd be happy!!! :)

1/2primitive:
Yep, you'd be just fine, I just would want all of my feathers to be primary on my arrows. :)
