Arrow Fletching cover?

[bansheewins]

I shoot an arrow with white wraps and all white feathers for videoing purposes which works out well for what I am trying to accomplish.  I was hunting (tree stand) and a fellow hunter was hunting also (tree stand) about 80 yards away.  After the hunt he said that he would have never seen me in the tree except for the white on my arrows which stuck out like a soar thumb from that distance.  NOT GOOD.

Can anyone suggest or show me pics of what you might use to cover your fletchings?  I was coming up with ideas in my head but hate to reinvent the wheel if others have rigged something up that works.

Thx
Larry

Sorry for the Hijack, but am also interested in one for a Backquiver.

I got mine from 3 Rivers and they work real well. i open up the bottom of them so the arrows will not hang up as you are getting them out.

Rod Jenkins/Safari Tuff are the best in my opinion.

Terry Green had the best one I'd seen.

W.Jackson, for the back quiver, I just take along an extra stocking cap.

Here is the Kanati fletch cover from Anneewakee traditional archery.

You have several good sugestions here.

I made my own out of an old pair of camo pants worked out great.

I bought a cover from Rod like Smithhammer midseason.  This is my first time using one, but I like it.  I like bright fletching and the cover removes concern about game seeing them.  I don't know that it actually makes a difference, but it removes the question and that is enuf for me.

Kathy Kelly Cover for my Backquiver...not to hide fletching but protect from rain.

If you are not moving, white fletching may not give you away.  White is a naturally occurring color.  A fellow hunter saw you, big deal.  Did squirrels or birds land or climb near you?  Carry a camo hanky with you and lash it to your fletch if you are nervous.

I totally disagree! White is the "Red Flag" in nature that something is wrong. Deer,Rabbits, Squirrels all flare their tail when something alarms them. I've never understood having white caps or white fetching on arrows, makes absolutely no sense at all. Can't see your arrows at 20 yards get some glasses. I use all natural colors for my arrows, browns,blacks, nat. turkey ect.

I use a fletch cover only when conditions are wet, and I want to protect my fletching.   Otherwise, I use white (prefered) or bright fletching all the time, no problems.  White DOES help me see my arrows, even from my periperal...and it helps a lot to know where your arrow hits.    Unless you are hunting during a gun season or for turkeys, and there is real concern about being shot accidentally, white won't be a problem if you know when and how to move or set up.  White and light colors are very predominant in the west, anyway...and I would think in a tree (have you ever looked up from the ground into the treetops?) you can easily disappear with white.   Predator fall grey, and even snow camo is an effective camo to hunt in trees.
