Default Silencing feathers anyone?

Hey all, Im searching for a product that I could put on my feather fletching to quiet them down. When they go down range I can hear the "wush-wush-wush" of them. Mind you, these are on my carbon arrows coming out of my compound bow, I posted this in the traditional section because I figured I'd get more response here, seeing as how most traditional shooters(me included) shoot feathers, and most compounders shoot vanes. thanks in advance.

I don't think such a product exists--at least not to my knowledge.

There are cuts that are quieter (low profile parabolic seems to be the quietest), and the type fletch will also make a difference (a hard helical will be noisier than a slight off-set). Other than that, I'm no help--sorry.
