The hardest part is getting some good wild feathers.
Canada goose feathers are really good due to the oil content in the feathers.

Is there any reason that they have to be wild feathers?

I used feathers that were moulted from a turkey my Grandparents had. Of course there was only enough feathers for one arrow, I wouldn't see why you couldn't ask a farmer that raises turkeys for the feather that get moulted.
