I may have to give those a try if they work in low light. I was considering lighted nocks, but I like this better if it works.

I’d like to see where I’m missing deer in low light :biglaugh:

They work great.  Marribou feathers do also, weigh next to nothing, available in a ton of colors cheap at a hobby lobby.  Strip and glue.  Dang near glow
   Top Hat is also making adapters for wood arrows to use uni nocks.

That's it, I'm sold and will be putting these on the ends of my arrows for the upcoming season! Thanks Kenny for the post and info. TW

I tried them once. They got wet too easily. Of course every time I enter the woods it's a downpour so maybe others have better luck.

Always wanted to try these....how are you boys attatching them?  Superglue like fletchings?

The ones I use to use were self adhesive. They had a bright pink that really stood out!!

I used the glue shown in pic. Think it’s similar to barge cement. Worked well. Also put one on with fletch tape and it also worked...
Stay sharp, Kenny.

Pink for me as there is nothing pink in the Nevada desert. Easy to find on missed rabbits—grin in embarrassment

I have purchased and used white and pink fur tracers. The pink shows up better in all terrains, and since I often hunt in snow, pink is my go to tracer color.

I often hunt during the firearm seasons with a bow and prefer not having a quiver load of white fletching or tracers bouncing along in low light conditions. I actually use chartreuse/orange fletching with a pink tracer and use a fleece camo fletching cover. Colorful.

Almost everyone in our club used them back in the 70s and early 80s and they worked great . I didn't use em cause they tickled my nose .

Was just thinking about that -- wanting to sneeze when I hit anchor!

I had few big ones that never got a way but, had no camera to prove it. After eating the evidence, they said it was still just a tall fish tale! :laughing:

I’ve used a lot of excuses over the years for why the big one got away.

“Everything was going perfect, until .........”

But never has “my arrow tickled my nose” been the end to that line.
