I have been considering making my own feathers after these huge price increases. The feather chopper is around $25 and the burners are like $100. It appears you need to have the feather on the arrow to use the burner and be careful not to touch your shaft (cedars) to the ribbon? That would make it difficult to make shield cut, etc?

Can you burn feathers without the arrrow? And why does everyone like the much more expensive burner over the choppers?

Thanks for any advise.
