Sorry Arthur, I didn't mean to ask just a vague question. I really appreciate the info you gave me, but what I meant was, if the individual little, I dunno what you call 'em, the little hairs on the feather started separating from eachother or getting "miss-aligned" with each other, would that affect the arrow flight? Or does that even happen? I think I could ask the question better if I knew what I was talking about, but then I guess I wouldn't be asking the question!
