Hot pink and chartreuse yellow/green fletching,  with hot pick wraps.

For me nothing shows better than all white with a white wrap. I've tried pinks and yellows and have never been able to see them as good as white. I think white is just sharp anyways, especially when it's coated in pink/red froth.

I have used combinations of flo orange and chartruse for many years.

Using white fletching in PA is a good way to get yourself shot. We have early rifle for Jr's/Sr's plus inlines during the early season. Way too many trigger happy idiots around here.

I make my arrows orange for the most part but for small game hunting, I think I can see pink ever better.

Every set of arrows that I have, has a different fletching, wrap, or crest combo.  I like making arrows too much to always make the exact same thing.  LOL

I really like all yellow for all around looks, visibility, etc.  All white is just classic and sharp! I have a set with 3 whites, and 1 natural turkey feather - those are really handsome too.

My "prettiest" arrows are some with orange dyed natural turkey feathers with a matching orange and yellow crest - those are beautiful to me, but very hard to see and impossible to find in the autumn leaves.  

In terms of pure visibility - I have some done up in AMG "Lime" and those literally glow when spinning through the air.

Sharp Stick

Chartreuse  or Yellow and Black, anything but White.  I don't like white anywhere on my arrows.  I find very few things in nature that are pure white.  It just seems to stick out like a sore thumb to me, even if game can only see shades of grey, they can still see pure white as a contrast.  Just my .02

BUCKY

Yellow or white. Thinking of orange but I'm not sure how they would be in low light. It would be all orange with orange wraps and nocks.

RedShaft

I use natural barred this season. All 3. Never again
Way way to hard to see in last light. That's when I usually get shots. I'm going back to orange, chartreuse, or the like.
I have found I can pic up an flor orange nock in low light better than any other color.
I don't use yellowed red anymore . I love it but allot of leave on the ground in the fall here are that same yellow or red n it really hard to see.

Bowhunting is a passion, not an obsession. Its just hard for my wife to tell the difference sometimes.

Burnsie

I've tried the all white, both cresting and feathers route before, but it wasn't as visible as I thought it would be?  Also tried all red like Fred Asbell's arrows.  Too many red colors in the woods during the Fall.  Hot pink and chartreuse for me.

GANDGOLF

I was using Pink - sitting in a ground blind. A nice buck and a doe came up. Staring - from 15 yds. I was hunkered down, they stared for about 3min. Turned back in the brush and left. Puzzled, I left my bow there and went to see what spooked them. I knew they couldn't see me. But, in the setting sunlight those pink fletchings looked like Kleig lights. No more ! Now it's blue barred cock feather and 2 blue hen feathers on a lime green capwrap.
