I searched fur tracers last night and liked what I saw. I already had a small order in my "cart" at 3 Rivers so I added some hot pink fur tracers. Should go well with my chartreuse and pink feathers.

Let's see yours!

I don`t have pics, but you know hunting season is here when my arrows wear tracers.

Nice pics. Thanks guys.

How is the durability. I'm not overy concerned since $4 gets you a dozen, but it'd be nice if I don't have to worry about them falling off.

I buy rabbit skins from Tandy for $2.oo each and make dozens and dozens of tracers. Put them on with barge cement and they hold up real good. Frank

Ahhh, the pretty blossums

I get mine from a fly tying shop. I use duco to glue them on.

You can get a lot of colors in any fly fishing Dept. You can tie them on or another good use for fletch tape.

I use 1/4" Rabbit Strips that are used to tie flies. Lots of colors and pretty cheap. I like a nice ball of color, so I leave 3/4 inch or so between the fletching and the nock, then after applying contact cement to a strip and the arrow, I spiral it around towards the nock.

I prefer Pink or Chartreuse. They really show in flight, and I like the nice spot of color in the target.

Does anyone have trouble with good arrow flight after installing these?

I wrapped three arrows. They weren't grouping very well compared to my regular arrows. I can only assume it's b/c they're hitting the strike plate just enough to kick the arrow.

Neat looking

DannyBows · « **Reply #16 on:** May 19, 2011, 08:46:00 PM »

I finally got some pics of mine in a target. The bow is my new to me Bama Hunter.

BOWMARKS · « **Reply #17 on:** May 19, 2011, 09:56:00 PM »

Wow gonna have to get some of those pink ones. I also like to see flight but more of where I actualy hit.

TxAg · « **Reply #18 on:** May 19, 2011, 11:13:00 PM »

Do they cause erratic flight for anyone?

IGetTargetPanic · « **Reply #19 on:** May 20, 2011, 02:36:00 AM »

This thread made me order some!
Great looking stuff!
Does it really help the tracking of flight or finding the arrow?
