Wild turkey feathers

I have about 450-500 right wing wild turkey feathers. I am thinking about getting them processed or trading-selling them. Is there anyone doing the processing now and what do they charge. Thanks, Don

I send mine to Raven Archery for processing. Jan does a good job--quill bases are thin, like Tru-Flite. It's 20-something cents per feather (22 cents, I think) and return shipping.

Thanks Chad, If I don't descide to get rid of them, I will check Raven out. Do they have a web site? Thanks, Don

No website I know of. I have the number and address in my shop--I'll try to get it to you later today.

there is an article in Traditional Bowhunter that shows how to cut and prep the quill. i believe it was in the last issue, not the current issue.

I do mine myself. They aren't quite as precise as a store bought fletch, but they are pretty good looking. gives me something to do sitting there watching TV.
