No doubt, barred feathered arrows are nice to look at and shoot. Personally, I prefer bright colored feathers when handcrafting my own arrows because in the sometimes low-light conditions that I find myself hunting in like a Canadian spruce bog where black bears hang out or an Adirondack cedar swamp where bucks like to skulk around, I find that I can visually track my brightly fletched arrows better under those low-light hunting conditions. Also, a 10"  cresting of bright white, yellow or orange at the nock end aids in finding arrows that have missed their mark...if that should ever happen.

I like the bright colors also and it's hard to make a bright barred feather.  This is the best I have come up with. Two barred and one solid color.
