Cleaning blood off feather vanes.Help!

[olegburn]

Switched to feather vanes-
shot couple a deer .
Arrows seem OK-feather has blood and fat on them-
How one should wash it without damaging it.
Also in the rain they get wet and look rough.
Suggestions,please!

Shot at biggest buck this morning-rushed the shot-
grazed him.That bruin ran few yards-I waited for him to fall over-did not reload right away - and it walked off into woods.
Minute later it started snorting like crazy- 15 times at least ( can tell it was mad)before walking away in a wide circle.
I almost started snorting myself .
Shot a doe half hour later-felt better.Urban permit-only $15.
But I won't mind paying $24 as long as that tag lands on big buck like that.
Well,now have to wash arrows and re-sharpen broadheads.

Peroxide works well. You may have to soak it.

they make a silicone spray for feathers to assist in the keeping them dry..........

called DRI-TITE made by Bohning.............. mine is a 3oz aerosol spray can.

cheers!

Thanks for all the advice-they are clean,
and broadheads are shaving sharp!
I'm ready-may the game come our way,or we'll find it ourselves!

Sounds like you got it done, but I heard window cleaner (Windex)does a good job of removing blood. I haven't tried it on feathers though as I shoot Blazer vanes.
