Chicken feathers make good arrows. Wow, that is news to me. I make my own arrows with birch dowels, but I never figured how to put the feathers on so I don't put any feathers on. They shoot well if at short distance, like 10 to 15 feet away. Good for protecting the house, maybe. Well, I did find some bluebird feathers on my lawn sometime back. Maybe I'll just Youtube it on how to attach feathers.
