This is the first time I used the Twin Shijo cut on a dipped and crested shaft.

Those are some nice looking arrows. Do those feathers make alot of noise?
Its not the size of the animal you hunt that matters. Its how you hunt the animal.

I have great fun with pink feathers, easy to see in flight and where I hit, and prompts endless barbs and friendly rivalry on the 3D courses. The only disadvantage is shooting first - everyone else has a bright aiming point in the target!

As soon as I pick up some pink fletching, it'll be on my hammerheads for stumping.

I shoot pink/white or chart/white...4 fletch.
Been making them this way for years.
Of course I hear about it from some guys...I really don't care.
The problem is the same as skarcher is saying, its easier for others to see your arrows if you shooting at nocks....thats why I do have some arrows that I've painted FLAT BLACK!!!!
Those are some fine arrows you've put together.

For more than 15 years I have been using 2 hot pink and 1 grey barred. 5  1/4" banna cut.

 Started out shooting pink just to piss off a buddy at the range.

 I also wear a pink bandanna on the scooter and at work.  Nobody ever gives me a hard time about it.  Huh?

I use pink feathers.  Easiest feather to see for me in the fall, if I miss.  know for a fact deer cann't see them (had a buck 5 yeards from me on ground walked right by).  Great to see in flight.

I use Pink and Pink/Barred. If my fletching can't be seen from Space, it's not bright enough!

What about that twin shijo fletching Paul? Are there any advantages to it over 5" shield cut? Is it noisy?

The only arrows that I tried the shijo on are, arrows for my self bow.  Didn't notice any noise diff. The only advantage is the different look. And they look great coming from a Horse Bow.
