Does anyone know of a service that grinds feathers for fletch. I was recently successful on a turkey hunt and would like to use the feathers as fletch on my hunting arrows. I have used feathers in the past from different stores and they work fine. I just thought it would be nice to use the ones off my turkey.
Thanks
Joe
I found a place that will do it for a reasonable price.
Where is this place, I have a bunch.

Have you read this thread? I process my feathers the same way, and it is simple, but very effective.

I strip them like on Mickey Lotz's site, It works very well. But I flech them by hand, so I'm not sure how they will work in a jig.

Here's a thread on turkey fletch I just put together, maybe it will help if you want to do it yourself. STeve

ive been peeling and chopping mine with good success... i love the looks of natural turkey feathers....
to answer your question better... try customfeathers.com or raven arrows for actual grinding service...

Sean, I strip them like Mikey also and use my Bitzenburger jig just fine.
