Pink. Very very pink.

With yellow nocks  :D

Mainly because I can see them a mile off!  :D

I'll second that except I have orange nocks.
I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness and will sing praise to the name of the LORD Most High.

Anything barred. Yet I think I might have to go to the brighter colors soon.

Yellow or orange, I can see them well in flight and I can find the arrow after the shot easier.

I shoot the Trueflight BRIGHT STRIPES in Orange-Chartreuse for visibility and have been really satisfied with them.

Two red barred and one grey barred, with a ruby red nock, or vice versa for about 20 years, but may be soon going brighter.

I usually use red barred hen feathers, and white barred cock feather with white locator nocks.  Recently had a dozen built to match my wifes new Striker take down long bow with purple barred hen and white barred cock feathers and white locator knock.
Hunt fair, hunt hard, no regrets.

FWIW, I had flourescent lime green feathers with one arrow nocked and 3 in my quiver.  Had a button buck, spike and nice 6 pointer all within 8-20 yards of me while in treestand.  The spike and 6 pointer had looked up at me once while passing. I was able to draw on them multiple times witout spooking so this color did not bother them.  Was a calm autumn day within 1/2 hour of sunset.

White and yellow so I can see them easier. Have been thinking of other bright colors also lately. Gary

2 Chartreuse and one Powder blue. There was a study done some years back and those two colors were found to be the easiest picked up in flight by the human eye. Shawn
