Feather color

[old_goat2]

Trick I learned from the Clum's at rmsgear was one arrow with all white to shoot in low light conditions and then whatever your choice for other times. My normal colors these days are chartreuse and white with either blaze orange or blaze pink wraps. Gaudy as heck but a blind man can watch them fly!

No blue for me!  I'm convinced that it glows in the UV receptors of deer and elk.  There's scientific evidence on both sides of that view but don't bother me with it... I'm a believer!

If you spend much time on this website...one thing you learn quickly is that there are amazing deer and other trophy animals successfully taken with just about every feather combination you can imagine.  

Personally, I believe it's a personal preference and I like to see my arrows in flight.  Having said that, I've fletched plenty of feather combinations in my days that weren't highly visible but they just looked cool.  LOL

I like white! Thats what I can see the best in flight.

I use Fletch cover... I don't have a problem with being seen because of my feathers ...

I have an arrow rack full of arrows that I've  kill game with. I'll try to post a picture of that soon.... if chartreuse feathers didn't work I never would have killed anything...

Over 95% of these arrows are chartreuse ....

Terry, I love that collection of arrows!

I like chartreuse or pink fletch with a chartreuse wrap.  The tradgang wraps werenmy favorite!

Terry...that's not enough evidence.

I used to get feather tracers from Kustom King and put them on behind the fletching. The fluorescent maribou feather really pops when the arrow comes to a stop, almost like a colored flash bulb.

chartreuse for me.

The blue thing cracks me up! I've killed so many animals wearing blue jeans, and I had a beautiful set of Doug fir arrows made in blue and white. They didn't last long because the animals didn't mind what color they were at all, they looked really good red white and blue!

 

 

 

 

I shoot arrows that I can see and like and really don't care what the animals think of my arrows.

It really gets me when someone attacks one of my favorite superstitions.

I love white for target practice, when comes to hunting, I give it a khaki crown, two pink hen and purple cock feather.  I have had deer within 5 yards ground hunting and they never seen it.  I use a fletch cover when go after turkeys.

Tracy and Terry are the same...just not enough evidence to back up their claims!  LOL
