aznboi3644 and sadiejane, all I have to say is finally.  dag-on-it, make the ding dang arrow and go shoot it.  if you're anything like me, you're gonna get cocky and shoot from too far and brake the darn thing anyway.  I'm not lol, i'm brakin' my arrow because I try to shoot them things daily!!  play your string music daily!!!  that's what bowtarist says.   :o

George, you should really make it down for the Tenn. Classic one year.  I'm pretty sure you will have a great time.

I glue the fletchings and then use a pair of sissors guided by a leather pattern.

I have used a feather Burner, however Pappy let me use a feather chopper and that's all I'll use now on the Turkey Feathers.

So my first choice is chopper, and second is a Feather Burner.

Just finished up on a dz arrows for a member of Twin Oaks.  These are one's I chopped.



The one's below I made and I used a feather burner on.

I use a feather burner.  I've had luck with the choppers as well, but I prefer the burner.
