what color feather stands out the most?

[wooddamon1]

 

Chart or yellow for me.

[A.S.]

Flo pink or flo yellow feathers for me. I like to use white nocks for hunting, they seem to catch my eye better than the flo color nocks.

[hitman]

I prefer orange feathers.

[Prairie dog]

I see white best in my neck of the woods.

[RUTANDSTRUT]

always loved my all white feathers, nock, and wrap

[Brock]

mine are always red or red barred with flo green nock.....but think a white or chartreuse is most visible to me overall...just wont shoot them. LOL

i have got good of seeing the flo green nock against red cap with red feathers in flight and afterwards....

[AngelDeVille]

I like red/white, with a white nock. after I break all my yellow and reds I'll switch them.

Flo.Orange with Flo. Yellow hens, Flo. Orange Wraps. White nocks. I don't like them when ground hunting, I feel like they glow to the deer too!

[tradhunter]

        I'm all in on pink!

[Mongo]

Flourescent Yellow.

Well one of my young and sharp eyed 4H archers found my red/black fletched arrow. Guess it's easier to see if you are lookin' where it's at...

What color stands out the most depends at least partly on the environment and on what we mean by "stand out."  If we mean during arrow flight, then flourescent yellow/chartuese works well for me (although bright blue is a close second), like many others.  If on the other hand we mean what stands out the most when trying to find an arrow on the ground, while stump shooting for example, blue works quite well, mostly because there are few blue "things" in the natural environment. Although I know this, I do not like  blue fletching, however - they are just too unnatural!

I like white but scared to tote them when the fire stick boy's hit the woods. I use yellow or chartreuse then.

[stagetek]

I use Flo. lime green and wraps if there's snow. Otherwise, all white w/white wraps.

Chartreuse or yellow, I also like white.

Same here. I also add a wrap of reflective tape in front of the fletches. Makes finding arrows a snap after dark.

[JamesKerr]

I like all white, white and pink, and chartruse and pink.

Standing out the best AFTER the shot when the arrow is at rest depends a lot on the background the arrow is in.

Standing out the best in flight…..that is another ballgame.

I have done a bunch of testing on the later with both human perception in realtime and HD video footage.

I used every flo color available, including matching wraps and nocks when possible. Shot the arrows into light and dark targets, into heavily shaded area`s and into bright sunlight area`s.

Both the group of human observers and the video came to one conclusion……

When an arrow is in flight, regardless of lighting conditions, all white is the winner.

Surprisingly, flo orange performed very poorly in this test. A bunch of the guys on hand thought that orange would do well.

Mitch H, just out of curiosity, what color came in 2nd behind white?

[joe ashton]

yellow.(except when the aspens turn then white)
