What Is Gateway Feathers?

Gateway Feathers is a U.S. feather-processing company that makes archery fletchings and related feather products, and it sells both directly through its online store and through a network of dealers. The site is worth visiting if you need feather fletching for arrows, custom-printed feather designs, or feather accessories, and you want to buy from a company that has processed feathers for decades. If you are outside the U.S. or need a specific product in a hurry, check the dealer list and shipping terms before ordering.

What the company actually makes

Gateway describes itself as processing feathers for over 50 years, with products made from feathers hand selected in the United States. The site's own framing centers on archery: feathers are presented as giving "better arrow control and guidance," and the company calls its output "the best archery fletchings in the world."

The product range visible on the homepage includes:

• Feather fletching in a wide range of colors, sizes, and shapes
• Parabolic-cut fletching (the store lists a 1 7/8" Parabolic category)
• Custom printed designs ("Printz") — logos or artwork applied to feathers, now also available on full-length feathers
• Accessories, DVDs, and branded apparel such as Team Gateway jerseys
• Custom work for other businesses — the site cites turkey quills made for Zucker Feather and window displays for Louis Vuitton as examples

How buying works

You can order directly from gatewayfeathers.com through its store and checkout, or buy from listed partners. The site names U.S. dealers including Lancaster, Kinsey's, Feathers N Wood, and 3 Rivers, plus European sellers such as Bignami, SSA, Black Flash, and Eagle and Merlin in the UK.

A few practical details from the site:

• Free shipping is advertised on U.S. orders over $40.
• The site offers multiple languages, including Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish.
• A login/register option exists for account management, and shipping and privacy policies are linked in the menu.

The site does not publish prices on the homepage, so you will need to open individual product pages or the checkout to see costs.

A status note worth knowing

The homepage carries an update explaining that Gateway had planned to combine with Ozark Feathers, but a fire at Ozark set that plan back indefinitely. Gateway states it is still accepting orders and operating as usual, with some mild setbacks. If you are planning a large or time-sensitive order, it is reasonable to confirm current lead times by phone (1-520-805-0863) or email ([email protected]) before committing.

Who this site is for

• Archers and bowhunters building or repairing arrows who want natural feather fletching rather than plastic vanes.
• Clubs, shops, and resellers looking for a U.S. feather supplier with an existing dealer network.
• Businesses needing custom feather work — printed logos, dyed or shaped feathers, or display pieces.

If you only need a small quantity of standard vanes, a general archery retailer may be simpler. If feather performance, color choice, or custom printing matters, Gateway's direct store and its dealer list are the two main paths to start with.
