Nodog/Voodoofire,
PM me your address and I'll drop a few of them in the mail to you, that way you can test them out yourselves. If you like them you can get some from Keystone.
Nodog, I don't really have any other unfletched feathers on hand at the moment to compare. And at the present I don't have a scale to measure the weight, I'm in the process of fixing that. I will say this though I do have some other arrows that are fletched with 4" feathers and by physically pushing on them they is a noticable amount of pressure required to flex the feather body between the Rayzr and the standard fletch. Also prior to trying the rayzrs I was about to give up on feathers as I could not go a week without damaging the feathers. It has been near three weeks and the only damage I have inflicted on the rayzr was caused by contact with broadhead blades.
I did not know anyone that had tried these feathers so I gave it a whirl and was very happy with them.

Thanks bt. I was just curious to the difference between 3 and 4 fletch patterns. My arrows fly good so I dont think I will be changing that anytime soon.

Another guy who sells feathers, gateways in particular has mentioned more than once that they were no stiffer than any other feather. I think the claims gateway makes about them while not directly stating they're stiffer sure leds to that conclusion. The guy selling feathers as well as other things is now selling his own brand of feather and dropping the gateways all together. Funny that. ;D He had to have been working on the switch while we talked.

Craig, Thank You! I like them very much, and while awaiting their arrival, I tried to make my own, it was successful.. but.... they were not as stiff, nor did they fly as well, the rayzrs do seem thicker and much better made than my feeble, but identicle looking attempt, I am impressed, and will be ordering some soon......Steve
