I will be getting some new arrows in later this week, and have been going through fletching colors in my head. I have always went with 2 white/1 pink on my compound arrows, but think i might switch it up. I was thinking maybe two yellow or flo. green and 1 barred pink. Something nice and easy to see. What do you guys use? Also, i'm not sure of all the feather shapes, so, if you post a picture, can you indicate which shape it is. Thanks

Chartreuse and pink. Sage is not those colors. Easy to find multiple misses

2 pink and 1 gray might look good too. So many options.

I used to build some awesome classic colors and splices in both wood and carbon, but anymore I am all about visibility and now mine are a fluorescent yellow dip or wrap with fluorescent yellow hens and a chartreuse cock feather and a lighted nock if hunting towards dark.

I Just Finished these Old School Colors.

2 Orange, 1 brown.

I posted this last week but it went nowhere.

EF, I really like the classic colors as well. Dark orange, Browns, blacks, dark red, but I also really like to see my arrows and find them if I miss!

I prefer all white or all yellow parabolic profile 5" feathers right wing helical

White deer see, red and blue no good for turkey hunting (safety thing) yellow and yellow barred and suppose you could use pink, I never have. I use gray a lot, sometimes with white barred, classic in my simple mind

I am burnt out on the flourescent pink.

I have plenty barred pink.

I am really liking the Beman ics whiteouts.

I always use 4 inch parabolic, rw

3 white barred 5” right wing.

My GT traditional 500's for my 45 lb bows have 3 shield cut rw 4" natural barred.

Looks just like Eastern wild turkey feathers.

I used 4 inch parabolic right wing feathers. They were white barred at first and I dyed them orange using Kool-Aide.

My arrows are 4 fletch with 3" bananna or shield, in whatever color im feeling @ the moment. I have about every color, its a rough choice @ times.

I find barred feathers, every florescent ones, harder to see in the grass so I stick with all three being solid colors and use florescent wraps too. I'll try posting a pic, haven't tried with this phone yet, but never had any luck on the past on this site! If the picture works, these are short high backed shield

I like any bright shield cut with bright wraps easier to find after they have avoided a target

Yellow

Any bright color works for me.

The easiest for me to see early and late in the day, and in the dim light of dense forest, is all white. Also the easiest to find. That's fletch, nock, and cap. I don't normally shoot in the snow.

Also, I use three 5.5" shield fletch. Shield is the classic tapered arrow fletch of white man.

I use a pink crown dip and 3 pink 4” shield cut feathers. I never worry about cock feather in or out. Either way shoots the same for me.

If it ain't chartreuse, it ain't no use.

I usually shoot 4 - 4" Shield cut feathers and all the same color either White, Bright Pink, or Yellow. I like that I can get 2 - 4" fletchings from one full length feather. But even shooting my 3 - 5.5 inch Shield or Banana cut feathers they are always the same color.

Just red and white, my wood hunting arrows

Yellow & white, chartreuse & white also use bright orange in replacement of white. In 5" & 4" parabolic Fletch right handed.

I sell quite a few arrows with chartreuse and blue,guys say they can really see it

Old school would be all natural barred. When white feathers first came out, they cost more than natural barred. Folks wanted brighter feathers back then as well. When died feathers started to happen then you saw about everything. I like feathers that are easy to see like chartreuse, or white. That said I don't pull off feathers that are in good shape so I have some that are all natural barred as well. You can always glue on a maribou feather behind the fletching to enhance visual flight.

4" shield or parabolic, white barred/ white or all yellow barred.

I've got blue, grey, yellow, pink, purple, red, orange, and white, and some natural turkeys, barred and solids. All these colors you'll find in the woods. Plus I can see them better. Don't use the Florescent though. Stopped buying retail about 8 yrs ago and either trade for or wait for deals. Just picked up 100 purple barred the other day for $40. If one gets ruined for some reason I just replace it, I've got some shafts with 3 different colors on them.

These are my "Sunday go to 3-D meetun" arrows.

I use 1 white and 2 yellow, I like white for low light situation, I see it better when knocking a arrow, I like these two colors because I think it looks nice and believe I can analyze blood better.

I prefer this color for spring bear, under low light conditions

For whitetails and other game, I prefer hot pink crown with hot pink feathers

Had some new arrow done up yesterday. 5” shield

These for target and Javelina and hogs

These for deer.

Here is a different version pictured along side the same 5" shields as above. These are 2" Gateway Rayzor fletch, they will drop less and carry their speed farther downrange over the same distance than the 5" shield cut due to less than half the drag from fletching. Tuning and bare shaft tune must be spot on with these and they are sensitive to an inconsistent release.

I like these.

My go to

Like those a lot Stew.

I like useing 3 the same color, white or bright yellow with white nock and flo. yellow or flo. green nock.

Last Sumer I used 3 orange feathers with flo. orange nock and I picked up some bright tangerine feathers from Lancaster that I like a lot. They show up quite well.

"Nature inspires my color combos......blue and orange "

Craig, my favorite bird, the Eastern Bluebird.

I like this color for hunting.

And all white for 3-D.

Some of mine.

I don't make lookers anymore. I just make them to shoot. I definitely see white best in flight and on the ground so that's the fletch cap and nock color I use. I still lose WAY too many at that.

Here are some high visibility options:

Shoot 4 fletch, 3" shield cut in chartreuse.

i like these

Barred turkey shields for me

Deno

I have had many of the above. Problem is i get burnt out on colors and move on to something different. Really liking the plain old school solids right now

I use lots of Pink but yellow & white also. Some reds but this is most difficult to see. I went Gateway Patriotic for 2015 NFAA Nationals on my wood shaft. I have no preference of Shield over Parabolic either. (required for my class)

Chartreuse is the easiest color for me to see. Often w a red stripe spliced into hen feather. Or Chartruese ends spliced on. Sometimes white as well used in similar fashions

plain stained shaft.. Got me 1st place & a NFAA NEW National record score for the 28 Animal round in Longbow traditional. Highlight of the 5 days shooting for me..

OH MY! So many PURDEE ARROWS! ( I want 'em ALL!)

Im tryn these this year,,green and natural turkey and orange and natural turkey I just got some nice breasted POC gor them Not bad for kool aid ; )

Thanks Dan

I know everybody knows the kool aid trick but it was first time i tryd it out It does work good,,and i have alot of natural barred turkey feathers Gona do some 4" parabolics for the next nefew to start archery this year He says green and yellow are his favorite colors,so yellows next for his arrows im making to match his new curved stick

Out shooting this evening when I realized how well these showed up at dusk, this picture was taken without flash.

It's hard to beat all white, they look like a light bulb floating through the air. This year I used some luminocks that I had got for free. LOL, I flinched off a deer on release with those dumb things. I totally forgot I had them on and saw that flash of light when I released and flinched.

Kool-aid does work. Orange and dark blue or Light blue and natural.

-Bones

Go to arrows of 2017 and 2018

Can you lick them kool aide dyed fleatchings while on stand?

As I have gotten older I favor flo orange and flo chartreuse. They show up better for me in low light conditions than other colors, including white. This is one of the 2217s I shoot from my 55 lb longbow. I fletch the 2016s I shoot from my 45 lb longbow with 1 flo chartreuse and 2 flo orange. I also use flo orange on my cedar arrows.
