They wore feathers as a way of showing off their prowess in battle. Feathers were awarded for first, second, third and fourth strikes in counting coup, amongst other things.

i would recommend using feathers, if you only have 2, put them directly across from each other, if you have 3 feathers put 2 feathers on the same way as if you had 2 and 1 in in the middle of them on 1 side. make sure that when shooting the arrows the feathers don't touch the bow because they will break off or slow down the arrow.
