in your opinion, what is the best color that stands out the most? whether its low light, or high noon etc. to me, its either pink or yellow. but to me, in low light, pink almost seems to vanish. what do you think?

Chartreuse/flo. yellow/flo. lime, whatever ever you want to use. That type stands out pretty good for me in low light.

I love pink, but at last light nothing stands out better than white

Pink or red for me...

But blue will guarantee me not losing an arrow in the woods.

I sent a 2 red 1 black combo tapered cedar shaft into the pre-sunset brush this evening. It's still out there... [Mad]
Now, the post sunset missed shots into the pasture with the 3 fletched chartruse feathered arrows were all found.
You do the math... [Wink]

White cap dip, chartruese feathers (lime green), and a white nock. They glow!

Chartreuse/Flo yellow with a white crown and clear flo yellow nock is the most visible for me. Lots of colors show up well during good light, but the chart really shows its colors in low light. All white is probably a close second for me.

When it comes to shooting well, the arrow is more important than the bow.

Chartruese four fletch with chartruese cap wraps, (check the pick of my avatar), had a guy shooting 3d with me at dusk said my arrows looked like tracers.
