Here are some pink feathers with a purple crown that I made up for my girlfriend.  She'll be getting these with her new longbow for Christmas.

Come on Tim; Pink will make a bigger Man of ya.  :D   I get picked on all the time too but the older I get the thicker my skin gets.  Not too many people want to hurt an old man like me.

Low light conditions...use a pink crown dip or wrap with Chartruese feathers. Around here, Surveyors use nothing but Pink or Lime Green tape. You can't miss them swaying in the wind.

I will say, under low light conditions, like spring bear hunting in Canada....I prefer a Chartruese crown dip with either all white feathers or all Chart feathers. Those last few moments of light, it's important to see that arrow hit.

Before I switched over to Pink, my arrows were crown dipped or full length dipped in a light Sky Blue with all white or Chart feathers. I've never seen Blue, Pink or Chart colored trees.

Howdy D. Key,

Those are Trueflight Pink and Pink Barred.  They were full length feathers that I cut down to 4" and burned to a shield shape.  I like the way they turned out.  

3Rivers sells the solid Pink in 4" shield, but not the barred.  You could call them.  I'm sure somebody has them out there on the web.  Good luck.

I like to Cedar pink on my arrows.  The glow helps me Cedar trail in the dark.

You have the best looking arrows bar none.  Crazy talent.  And patience.  Love your work and I've been admiring them for some time.  Keep it up.

Try some white nocks on your girlfriend's arrows.  They would go well with the color combination.  And they provide good visibility.

Must have something to do with the color because I have never seen a pink nock stay on. Every one I had came off...once at full draw.
