Very cool Bwana. I save wing feathers for a guy who makes "presentation" arrows for the Boy Scouts (Order of the Arrow - or some such thing? ). Knaps his own flint and uses tendons from a deer's leg to make a pretty authentic arrow. He sends me a few arrows and most anyone who hunts with me gets one. I used to send feathers to some Indian tribe (which one escapes me at the moment). Then - they started getting "picky" and it was becoming a pia. I usually end up with about 10 sets of wings a year and my arrow guy is always glad to get them. He only takes the "secondary" feathers. Used to have a guy who took the primaries for actual traditional fletching but he quit making his own.
