Fast Fletch

Fast Fletch Glue: Fast Fletch is a "super glue� and will shorten the time it takes to build your arrows. This glue works on wood, aluminum and carbon shafts. It's incredibly strong bond works on feathers, nocks and inserts. Fast Fletch will not whiten as it dries and is triple distilled for purity.

Always scuff up your arrow before applying the feathers and clean off the scuffed area with Isopropyl Alcohol. When you use this glue, zig zag a small bead of glue down the base of the feather. Used this way your one ounce bottle will last a long time. For more arrow building information please see our "Nitty Gritty of Feathers� page.

 



Arrow Tracers

Arrow tracers are meant to give you increased downrange visibility. They also double as an effective wind check! (We include this added benefit free of charge) With today's high speed bows and faster arrows seeing where your arrows go is an advantage. These bright colors will help you track your arrows in flight and if you ever miss your target will aid you in finding your lost arrow.

Tracers are easy to install and come in 12 count packages. Tracers will not affect arrow flight when installed and waterproofed correctly.

To install tracers place your arrow under your arm with the fletching facing in front of you. Dab glue around the arrow between the fletching and the nock, best results are closest to the fletchings, then place the "skin� of the tracer in the bed of glue and slowly turn the arrow shaft while holding the tracer tight. The skin of the tracer will lay down into the glue bed as you turn the arrow shaft. Waterproof the tracer, gently, when the glue has dried.


Waterproofing Powder

Waterproofing Powder

This waterproofing powder works in heavy rain and even heavy wet snow. The trick is to apply the powder correctly. You must rub the powder into the feathers on your arrow. To do this place the powder into a sealable plastic baggie. Insert your fletched arrow and close the bag. Shake the powder onto the fletching and, starting with the first fletch, pull the feather back toward you separating the barbules of the feather. This allows the powder to get down between the feather's barbules. Now, shake more powder onto the fletchings and with your thumb and forefinger rub the powder into each fletching. When you've completed all of the feathers remove the arrow and knock it against your boot / shoe to remove any loose powder. Waterproofed this way your hunting arrows will remain waterproof for the entire season. Shooting your arrows and rubbing the fletching will remove the powder. Wash your hands with warm water and soap to remove powder from your hands.



Feather Chopper

Choppers are now available through Gateway Feathers. If you yearn to build your own shape of feather then either of these two items is for you.
The chopper comes in six different shapes and five different sizes. We also are able to make custom shapes for you also. With a custom shape you send us a drawing of the shape and size of the feather you would like and we'll make it for you.

The blade is a special tempered steel and with proper care the blade should never need sharpening, unless the blade is nicked. You can cut either left or right wing feathers with these choppers and adjust the sizes according to chart below.
