Duck feathers, heck any feathers will work if they are big enough(4" or more) and are legal.  ;)   With 3, 4" feathers you lay them down, up side down on the shaft around the shaft and tie them off fore and aft.
 





  I'm gonna move this to the arrow section.





the gray goose fletching(2 from the right) was done that way. I believe it is called a tangential fletching style.

I used some duck feathers and they flew straight. The feathers I got from my friend where kinda small but they work great, you can see them on my drunken post. I'm just hoping my brother-n-law will send me his turkey feathers, just more color on them.
