Some of the larger chacalaca primary feathers make OK fletching, though not as good as turkey or goose.
I'm looking for a good recurve bow, but all of the used ones that I've seen down here on the border are too beat up to trust and I'm too cheap to buy new. The last one that I used was fun, but that was 45 years ago...
Well, no chachalaca's up this way. I shoot a lot of geese and ducks so I'll save some feathers this year to mess with.
Watch the ebay auctions, type "recurve bow" or such into the search feature. There's 7 or 8 pages of 'em on there usually, some decent deals. That's how I got my compound. I just kinda got the hots for that "kingfisher" bow.
