Those are some beauties MObow and gibblet. Real works of art on the end of those arrows.

And just imagine how good-looking some of those would be with your multi-colored strings!

gibblet

man, i wish i had that dang camera cord. i did a couple crest jobs that would match sharkey's strings to a 't'. when i get a little better i'm going to give it a go with some feathers and splicing. i'm doin' some figurin' in my head about how to go about it.

the ones with the barred feathers and the kind of pastel cresting with the really, really small pin stripes, good gravy, that puts me in awe.

Hey Gib.

Tyr and get hold of some goose feathers they are a lot better than turkey feathers

gibblet

either you're serious, or its going right over my head. goose feathers, for real?

Kanga

In all serious Gib Goose feathers are better than turkey Feathers they hold up a lot better andare just about water proof.

But be warned unless you know a goose hunter or someone who has geese they will be expensive.

I have not found anyone here in the US that sells them but there are a couple of sites from England that will ship them over.

I sent some to a buddy in Nebraska (the one we will be hunting with next season) he is into trad gear and he just loves them and is gonna make me some Port Oxford Cedar arra's with the goose feathers for my recurve that you made the string for

Greg / MO

you mean these?



I don't know if awe is quite the right word...

mobow

Someday I hope to be able to make arrows that look that good.

Hey, where can I get goose feathers at? Been looking for some.
