I like 5" shields or 5" traditional cut. The color depends on what I am gonna do with them. For stumpin' and practice I use bright colors like chartreuse and blue. You know, colors that you don't find in the woods in case I miss. For hunting I like to use green barred with a 1" chartreuse splice on the back of the cock feather for visibility in flight. Have a good day, TMG.

I really like the 5" pope and young/raptor cut for my recurves and 5.5" banana for my longbow. As for color I like a white cap with all white feathers and a white noc. At dusk I have trouble seeing anything other than white or yellow flying through the air. I thought red would be good but during autumn I have had trouble seeing those.

4" Hunter cut from a Vario Clipper in a 4x90 config. Usually all white or a combo of white, pink or purple. Sometimes spliced...
