What is your preferred colour scheme for cock and hen feathers on 3-fletch arrows so they show up well?

I just use flourescent yellow nocks.

Three yellow feathers with a yellow nock.

Flo orange. for fletch, nock and wrap.

Flo orange or red for all three.

In the non-snow months, I like all 3 white or yellow with a white or yellow nock. With snow on the ground, I like all 3 bright red with red nock.

with enough snow won't matter

they gone???

All three white for my target arrows and broad heads, and for stumping either two chartreuse hens and a white, or two white hens and chartreuse cock feather. The chartreuse (which to me is simply a bright yellow) helps me identify them easily in my quiver.

When there's snow on the ground, the yellow is a must. Some get fletched with all 3 chartreuse for winter stumping.

3 4" white feathers, a white nock and a white dip. They show up very good in the side of a deer even with snow on the ground.

Whatever I have in the cupboard, but I don't change from one season to the next. Normally contrasting colors with at least one bright color or white.

Fletched up a bunch recently with a variety, what I had. Yellow, blue, orange and brown. Different combos with a few of each with different broad heads so I can tell them apart.

I never use all white since I live in northern USA. But will use it for my cock feather sometimes. Plus I’ve never missed so never been a issue lol. (Kidding of course)

Orange with neon orange wrap, good for all year. All three of my feathers are the same color, don't notice any difference on how it is nocked or shoots. But thats non-traditional;(. My hunting arrows are natural turkey fletched so the Blue Jays don't see me as easy.

I used to fletch the hen feathers white and the cock feather hot pink so I could see it if it snowed. used to use chartreuse nocks. Lately I have used all white feathers and white nocks. WV hasn't had much snow in bow season,Kind of miss the hot pink feathers.

I like floro nocks I can see. Bright colors are not required just look for the trail and hole in snow but use your arrow rack. Whatever you do do not use the tip of your bow. I did that years ago with a 57 kodiak skinned. The string grove separated. I had it fixed and it held all these years. The guy did it right is no longer with us. A real shame could get him to do anything and it come out correct.

I do like brite colors too though.

I love 2 natural turkey feathers and a bright barred pink cock feather with a florescent green nock.

I like bright orange all around.

Made these up recently, should work well for snow, but I hope I don't need the color to find them, just blood in the snow would do me just fine.

Orange or yellow with a blue cock feather and a yellow nock...blue stands out in the woods.

From: Buglmin
Date: 14-Nov-19




I used to love flo orange and chartreuse, but since everyone started using it, I went to just a bright green dip and three dark green feathers with a solid green nock, crested purple and black with silver pin striping.

Colour doesn't matter...if they slide under a foot of snow, or tall grass, you won't find them until spring anyway. Here's grey barred....

Blue. Jawge

Whatever I have. If there is snow, I have no qualms using a lighted knock.
