In the fall and winter  there is NOTHING in the woods that is BLUE   does not help a lot in seeing the arrow to the target, but it makes it easy to find after the hit . ALways like some sort of Blue, White and Red combination Good sight  in flight and easy to find on the ground.

Sometimes our woods seem to glow blue when there is snow on the ground, lol, but other than those rare occasions I actually liked blue alot too.  Untill dad informed me that I resembled a tom in the springtime, lol

Joe Skipp had some BRIGHT fluorescent green one on here once that were seriously fluorescent green. I ordered some from another seller and they weren't nearly as green.

I need some green Joe Skipp feathers!

Chartreuse and white and I like the reflective wraps, too.

On my little walkabouts shooting ground squirrels I had both Pink and chartreuse fletched arrows. I lost two chartreuse in the grass and no pinks. Luck maybe but lay then down in dry grass and the pink stands out more.

I love it that you guys use pink feathers, I'd rather loose one, not my thing. Terry's got some good ones and the wraps are for sale in TG store

I like all white fletchings and white nocks. White just seems to work for me. Although I must admit that I have never tried the pink deal.

Gotta go with the yellows feathers!  Easy to see, look great when cover with blood and can look at them out of my treestand and tell where the hit was!  Everything stands out on them!
Great lookin arrows Terry!!
