For my hunting arrows i've always liked a white cap, all white feathers and white nocks. In early morning or late evening they really show up well. For the arrows i practice with i like to experiment with different combinations, going to try splicing this winter for the first time too.

Ive used red for years on my hunting arrows. I can see them all the way to the animal and through. For 3d shooting; the brighter the better and still sometimes lose one. Ha! Ha!

Three 5 1/2" floresent Lime, Bannana cut.
A HUGE part of the enjoyment of shooting is watching the arrow cut thru the air, on its way to the mark. Without this visual feedback,(which by the way,helps train you to shoot), the beauty of trad. archery is greatly diminished.  This is another reason that I find, 300ft/sec. string rifles so unsatisfactory.- You can't root for an arrow you can't see!  Large feathers also cure flight prob. - particularily helpful w/broadheads.
