Been using florescent lime for awhile but thinking of 'going pink' as it shows up better...and I might finally be man enough.   ;)

My long standing color combo (for at least two decades) has been:

White nock.

White cock feather.
Upper hen red barred.
Lower hen black.
Twist it up, don't pluck, marinate then grill.

I never understood that, as looking an a competitor's error, although providing a clear object to aim at, it is unlikely to be "dead center" very often. I would rather someone aim at my off center arrow than aim at the bull's eye.
Until next time...good shooting,

Van, I didn't think you would be the kind of person to push an arrow in a target like that and then take a picture of it. LOL. Just kidding. Nice shot. Looks dead center to me.
Until next time...good shooting,

If my buds shoot a good arrow you bet I fixate on that arrow's nock!

It can be a great focus aid and make for equally good shooting (sometimes really good as I've blasted nocks off on the 3D range). With today's carbons that means there's a good chance of the recipient arrow being ruined.

Standard practice then is to buy the victim a coke at the halfway house or at lunch break. Yeah it's not much considering the cost of an arrow, but then maybe your buds shouldn't shoot so good and tempt you ;-)

I've found "blue" is a fletch color that I see better than most.
