    I heard a trick if you put a small piece of wet cloth or paper in the tube and keep it air tight, it helps the shuttle from drying out and breaking so easily.

    I tried this and seems the feathers do last a little bit longer, however I left a tube untouched for a month and when I opened it, the first shuttle and the paper was overgrown in that black fuzzy stuff:rolleyes:
