Turkey Feathers

[Rodéo]

Hey folks,
I'm wondering if you guys have any neat tricks for utilizing Turkey feathers.

I have a garbage bag full of feathers from a jake I shot last year and I'm sure there's some use for these things but I'm not too sure what to do yet. I know trad archers like to use certain feathers for arrow fletching but I'm just getting into compound archery atm so I don't think I'm gonna go that route.
Maybe hot glue gun the feathers to a styrofoam decoy and see how that works?
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks

Quill pens, lots and lots of pens.

Fly tying, fletchings for arrows, some women like to decorate with them, tail fan for decoy.

The only feathers useful for fletching are the 5-6 primary wing feathers beyond the last joint. We have saved them from our birds, friends, road kills etc for years. We send them off for grinding and chopping. All my arrows have real turkey bars on them. Nothing compares for beauty and toughness.
