Anybody use tracers?
« on: December 28, 2011, 09:57:00 PM »
I saw this on an arrow earlier, makes me think it would make tracking arrow flight in low light situations a lot easier, do they really work? And if so do the tracer's effect arrow flight at all? If anyone uses tracers lets see some pics!

I use them. Not only easier to see in flight, they leave no doubt where you're hitting the target. I use rabbit strips, the ones used in flyfishing.

I use white rabbit fur strips called zonkers.They are used for making flys.They are 1/8" wide and the hair is about 1.25" in length.I super glue them on and they do not effect arrow flight.They really make seeing arrow flight a lot better.

I like mine with chartreuse and orange. Really shows up great.

White zonkers for me too. White shows up better under any conditions.

 i like white myself.
doesent seem to effect flight at all. i bought a roll of that stuff that they make them out of for about $7.oo (2"x6') at a fabrick store, i got enough to last me a life time and then some, and you can buy the colored fabric markers to make them any color you want.
