The best fletching, nocs, stain or anything else on a set of arrows is whatever tickles your fancy at the time. It works for me. Eventually you grow tired of what you have then move to something else.

Team Pink!!  Bet you can't find anything of a florescent pink color growing naturally in the woods.
Hmmmmm. I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm
not sure that what you heard is what I actually meant!

Really boring but love white!  White dip or wraps and white fletch.  Easy to see blood on white and when shot in dim light.  I add colored nocks and a flor. red crest when hunting in snow.

Good post -

I have a half dozen arrows at the archery shop getting 3 hot pink with white knocks . Thanks to all for the neat pics and your input    :campfire:

MY priorities are seeing the arrrow in flight  BRIGHT   and finding it after a hit or miss . If you cant find it THATS NOT GOOD
  I also build a different set of arrows with different color scheme for every bow I own . MY combos are USUALLY  a mix of  Blue's, reds and whites with some grey barred mixed in.  I try to splice an inch or so of plain white at the back end of the feather  for visibility in flight . I stay away from yellows in the fall Hard to find the arrow in leaves after the shot .
  Exception to the rule is when IM building strictly for turkey hunting . Turkeys can see color   SO I DO build camo type arrows for that . Using  Browns, Greens, blacks and Barred greys .
