Re: Feather Cutters
Hi pumba
Little Feather chopper are a fairly common brand. you can buy then here I'm pretty sure Trad Bits (Scrub Bull) and AMSO 128 (jcm) Wildwood (white hawk) all are sponsors here would sell them. You need to work out what size and profile you want. If you are starting to go down this path and are planning to buy quanitities of feathers, nocks, points, cutters, taper tools etc then whilst the oz dollar is buying good us dollars it is worth buying up big direct. Kustom king and 3 rivers in the US. I use Kustom King as they are prompt and have a better /realistic packaging approach to mailing to Aus they also have a 5% discount for online buying. You will find things like gloves etc are worth buying at the same time make the most of one time postage. yes postage is dear but if you are buying up it does pay.
Cheers Tony

Re: Feather Cutters
G'day Greg,
IMO the best feather chopper is the Vario Clipper; see this thread and note the post by jcm saying he will have them back in stock soon. http://www.ozbow.net/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=10009
The Vario costs up towards double what the Little Chopper costs but the price premium is well worth it as they are so much better then the Little Choppers IMO.
