Natural feather fletchings remain the benchmark for traditional and instinctive archers, and the Gateway 4 Inch Shield Cut Feathers - Right Wing are a prime example of why. At just 2.76 grains per feather, natural feathers are significantly lighter than plastic vanes, which translates to flatter trajectories, improved arrow speed, and fletching that tunes more readily to your bow setup. The shield cut profile offers slightly more surface area than a parabolic cut, giving your arrows that extra touch of in-flight stability without sacrificing speed, making these feathers a solid choice for both hunting and target shooting applications. Whether you're shooting timber, carbon, aluminium, or fibreglass shafts, these feathers are compatible with all shaft materials and are particularly well suited to medium diameter shafts.

Gateway 4 Inch Shield Cut Feathers - Right Wing Key Features

• Length and Profile: 4.0 inch (10.16 cm) shield cut profile, which provides slightly more surface area than a parabolic cut for increased arrow stability in flight without significant drag penalty.
• Height: 15.5 mm vane height, a practical size well suited to medium diameter arrow shafts across a wide range of bow styles and draw weights.
• Weight: 2.76 grains per feather, considerably lighter than most plastic vanes, which helps maintain arrow speed and enables flatter trajectories downrange.
• Right Wing (Clockwise Rotation): Right wing feathers are cut from the right wing of the bird and produce clockwise arrow rotation in flight, which is the most common orientation for right-handed shooters. Wing orientation should match across all three or four fletchings on an arrow.
• Universal Shaft Compatibility: Suitable for use on timber, carbon, aluminium, and fibreglass shafts, making these feathers a versatile choice regardless of your preferred arrow build.
• Improved Spine Tolerance and Brush Deflection: Natural feather fletchings can help expand the usable spine range of an arrow and are more forgiving when shooting through grass, scrub, or light brush, as feathers compress and recover rather than catching and deflecting.
• Tunes Easier Than Plastic Vanes: The natural flexibility and lightweight of feather fletchings makes arrow tuning more straightforward, particularly on traditional recurve and longbow setups where vane clearance off the shelf or riser is critical.
• Application: Recommended for use with Fast Fletch Glue for a reliable, long-lasting bond. Sold one colour and size per pack.

Gateway feathers are a trusted choice among traditional archers, bowhunters, and target shooters who want consistent, reliable fletching with the performance advantages that natural feather simply delivers. Grab a pack in your preferred colour and get your arrows flying the way they should.
