Crow feathers work good for two-feather Eastern Woodland style fletchings, or three-feather radial (three feathers tied on flat)Southeastern fletchings, especially the latter one.

Progress might have been all right once but it's gone on for far too long.

I intend to try some crow feathers in the near future....  I first read this thread and walked around my place a little while with the ole shotgun, thinking that I would have no trouble taking one....  I see them all the time, so it should be no big deal - right?  WRONG.  Shooting crows is a real hunt.  They are pretty shrewd and work in teams.  They post lookouts and communicate with each other constantly.  They have "scouts" that fly over and check your call out from high altitude before allowing the whole flock to come.  I had a ball gathering crow feathers! They don't live to a ripe old age by being stupid.  Thanks for the advice Hillbilly, I will give a two fletch arrow a try.

They definitely know what a shotgun is for :)
