feather color

[string bean]

Always 3 yellow

[jcar315]

3 Orange hi-back shield cut with flo. orange cap dip. for me anyway this combo shows up real well when shot and I can find them super easy when I miss!

[huntindad]

White caps,two white one blue 5 inch shield cut and they show up great and are usually pretty easy to find.Bill

[David Lewis]

Always 3 5" white feathers on a white wrap with some form of splice in cock feather. I burn all my feathers with this modified shield cut just because i think they look cool.

I love orange die on real turkey feathers. with a orange wrap and nock.
 

[bear1336]

2 yellow and a red or 2 whites and a gray

[Blackhawk]

I prefer a bright yellow dip, 3 yellow feathers, and yellow nock.

My partner uses 3 hot pink feathers, and I have to admit that they are just as bright and easy to see. (BTW, he's such a great shot that I dare not tease him.)

[Recurve50 LBS]

I've ben using 2 floursessent yellow and one white. I also have dipped the shaft on white and yellow to match my feathers.

I am going to the BRIGHT pink also for hunting because of visibility. I am experimenting with 4 4" fletching.

I also like flouro yellow for some of my arrows...

 

Either way, I use a flouro yellow nock cause it seems to glow in low light.

[DesertFox83]

JC, that pink is awesome!

My next set will be 3 wild turkey with flo. chartruse spliced into the tail ends. The profile will be banana with the tail end clipped off. They'll be on tonkin shafts with self knocks and silk thread wraps. (purple thread because it'll match my bow)

I'll say this about plastic nock colors though. The flo. pink nocks are virtually unlosable. My buddy used to carry what he called the unlosable arrow. It was a green game getter with a flo pink nock. I don't care how many times he "lost" it while 3D shooting, we always found it. I offered to lose it for him once and he said I couldn't. I shot it into the timber once down at deer camp. It hit a dead limb some 70 yards away and broke the limb off. I only walked 10 yards into the tree line before I saw it! I then shot it into our "broken arrow campsite" tree. It's prolly there still today.

I always use 3 orange shield cut or banana LW feathers and an orange nock on my arrows.  White to me is an alarm color in the woods.  Most everything from a woodpecker to a deer flashes white when it's alarmed.  Just an observation.  I had a dozen vapors that I made that all ready had white wraps on them.  I flectched them with orange feathers.  I got nailed by two does last season trying to take a shot and I swear they were focusing on my quiver of arrows..After that I cap dipped them orange with a paint pen (Dykem) that you mark steel plate with.  BTW it works great for capping arrows.  Lasts forever too and comes in all kinds of colors.

I have been using 3 white feathers for years down here in the south and nothing stands out better when the arrow passes through a deer. It never snows down here so that white on brown is perfect.

I like red feathers with black/brown cock and flo. red creastwrap. they practically glow!!!
the wraps are available from insta-dip.
