4-fletch only, for me - never a cock feather issue.  :D

i love look of natural barred feathers, but they get lost from sight as the fly and hit ...
 

i've got a hundred or so of collected canada goose feathers, *great* fletches! but definitely no-see-ums, too ...
 

i like these purple slurples that jc gave me ..
 

i think flo-pink is about the best visual color for fletching, or flo-yellow.  i'd like to try those barred flo-pink white feathers, too.

I use all the same color and three fletch.
Pink you can see in the darkness
 
and the flo yellow as well
 
Its all about experimentation.a crown dip can bring out the best in a color fletch.

I use bright fletch so I can see impact. I use bright wraps so I can see penetration if off shoulder is hit causing a non-passthrough.

Yes. If I use a bow quiver I use a fletch cover.

I fletch my arrows with 3 - 5" chartreuse feathers and chartreuse wraps and nock.  Sometimes I will go with all white.

I like a bright arrow too, I have several combos. Flo orange wrap with Chartruse feathers,I put a single stripe on one with a black marker for the cock feather. Yellow wrap with 2 yellow feathers and one chartruse feather. You may see me with other combos but these 2 are my favorite.  wraps are 7 inch,three 5 inch parabolic feathers.

I have used three yellow for years. The white distracted me. I bought some pink feathers for my wife and like how you can find them in the grass so I am playing around with that also.

I always fletch with the same color now. I like solids.

I shoot aluminums: legacies or cammo hunters, but I use a wrap because I like the look and the extra weight.

I usually use white with red shield cuts but I love neon green wraps with black shield cuts!

I generally  fletch all one color (mostly flo-yellow) as with uni-bushings & Super Nocks it's as easy or easier to index by feel as it is to look for the cock feather.  It's also cheaper when buying feathers as a guy doesn't have to buy two colors.

I almost always use a One Stringer Wrap. Not only is it easier to see the arrow in flight, it provides a superior fletching surface.  Although I have some traditional crest patterns I like, most of the time I use a solid white wrap for early season and solid flo-yellow after the snow falls...

Another member of team pink here....

 

Sometimes yeller (I can't spell chartreuse   :p   )....

 

but always 4x90 low profile 4" nanners all the same color and yellow nocks. I can really see these arrows fly: helps both with impact recognition on game and keeping tuning/shooting form in line.
