Probably hold up better when wet. Thought about fletching with goose feathers, but hate dark fletching. Like to see my arrows in flight

I have one at the line shack in the hills to use as a hand dust broom and they work great!!! Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Tossed it back out in the yard I agree 100%. It's a shame to see those beautiful feathers just rot away.
