I generally try and make my arrows halfway attractive, but I am going to make a valiant attempt to shoot some Arizona quail before too long, so I think i will need some high visibility arrows. These would gag a maggot, but they sure ought to be able to be seen when they end up in some cholla thicket.
 -
Anybody else make less than attractive arrows for purposes like stump shooting or small game?

I doubt you'll lose any but if I find those laying around in my AZ Quail haunts I know who to return them to.

I make some ugly arrows also, they are yellow and red striped like a barber pole and use hot pink feathers. They are weird enough that they are easy to see out in the woods.

I was expecting to see some "ugly" arrows & I like em... But then again if it's not bright NEON it's not loud enough. [Wink]

Good visible colors there. I would say that you did a fine job in accomplishing your goal.
They may not win any beauty contests, but you will be able to find them. Good job.
