I use four pink - bright as can be and no other color like it in nature. Also, between the feathers and the nock I use a strip of 3M reflective tape (like the kind used to stripe fire trucks) and I just wait 'till dark if the pink didn't catch my eye and use a flashlight  :thumbsup:

I've always shot the same color as well.  White crown dip, nocks and feathers for practice arrows, barred feathers for hunting.  Have been making the flourescent yellow  fletched arrows like Terry's for my brother for several years.  They're absolutely the easiest to see under all circumstances.

 All one color, 4-fletch. Better not miss with these though. My 2nd attempt at homemade turkey feathers.

All but my hunting arrows are all one color.  White usually, but Fl green or yellow for snow arrows.

My hunting arrows have a cock feather.  Not sure why..don't want the deer to know I guess.  Use the Classic nock for indexing on all arrows.

I used a chopper then sanded them down in the clamp. Took awhile but my turkey is showing himself off now. Thanks!

3 fletch 5" parabolics for me. I've been using either bright pink or Flo yellow. I see the yellow better in hunting situations.

The pink really goes over well at 3D shoots   :biglaugh:

Three fletch, all the same -- I use index nocks and just feel for the index with my thumb.
I used POC shafts, dark stained, with three white 5" shield with black index nocks this season and they flew great -- looked like a white ball going to the target. Also, they looked very old school and trad.
I am working on a dozen woodies with 3 red 5" shields with a red cap, black and white crest. and a white index nock. So far they look pretty good.
I like using three feathers of the same color.

I always use white now, and if I want to add other colours in I just splice them into the front of the fletch like the below pic:

I have used three lime colored feathers for years with flourescent green nocks.  That color catches my eyes better than any other.  And as wierd as it sounds, the darker it gets the better they seem to show up!

I recently switched to 4 fletch with flo-chartruce/yellow colors. bright and you can see where they hit (either target or animal). For my river arrows I use woodies with 3-m reflective tape as my wrap. You can see those with a light for a mile away lol.
