Two yellow hens with a yellow barred with yellow knocks. I can see it well and it looks good IMO.

Purple with white nocks - little hard to see at dusk but you be surprised how well the white nock shows.

White fletch almost got me killed done time. No more all white fletched arras!

Arrows for my light set of limbs:
red cock feather shield cut , 2 white hens shield cut, ruby nock,
red cap, blue from the cap to the point.
Real easy to find and see in flight.

Arrows for my heavier set of limbs:
yellow barred cock feather sheld cut, 2 white hens shield cut, yellow cap, golden oak stain from cap to point, pearl nock.

I tend to like 2 natural barred and 1 white,
2 Brown barred and 1 red barred
2 Brown barred and 1 Black
2 natural barred and 1 Red barred

I don't care for bright colors. My bright set up is 2 Blue barred and 1 Black or white

All orange. I don't like the bright white, walking through the woods in gun season. Even with hunter orange on, I don't like the chances of someone seeing that white in my hip quiver.

I have four combos that I like to use.

2 orange 1 black--Phillie Flyers hockey
2 gold/yellow 1 black--Pittsburg Steelers
2 red 1 white---Phillies
2 white 1 light blue---Penn State

I use the above for two reasons. One so I can find them when I am shooting and the other is everyone knows my arrow when they pull it. I guess also because all the teams listed above are my fav.

White feathers with white nocks, and a white wrap!   ;)   :D
Sometimes I will use grey barred as well...

I have been using chartruse.  Although you can see them VERY well, with some of the new science coming out on what colors deer see(blues and yellows) I may change to orange.  Over the past several years I have been busted in what I thought were well hidden stands.  I'm wondering if the deer saw my yellowish fletchings.  A good example of what I'm refering to can be seen on the Optimax camo videos.

All orange or all yellow. Those seem to be my lucky colors. Out of the two, I'd take orange for visibility.
 Once in a while I get an itch to use all white, but I only make a couple of those every year.
Just one more step please!
