What is your color choice for fletching ?
« on: September 25, 2013, 07:44:00 PM »
Well I thought I had a good idea putting chartreuse feathers on my arrows with a chartreuse bared cock feather , thought that would be easy to see . Went roving today . Do you know how many chartreuse leaves you can see in the woods this time of year on the ground in Michigan ? One time it took me about ten minutes to find my arrow and it was just laying on the ground completely on top of everything . So whats your color choice for hunting arrows ?

Anything that I have the most of at the time.  You want them to stand out in the woods, try Blue!

Thanks,

I dipped my shafts white. Then have traditional barred turkey feathers. In snow I have a couple with blue and yellow feathers. But seeing that I work for the city when its snow I'm in the backhoe cleaning parking lots and streets. So I don't get to have fun in the snow. Just hope it sticks around for me to get in the woods.

PINK! seriously though it is a great color and if you don't want an all pink arrow try pink and blue or a bright purple both color combos look great and are easy to see or find.

Flo pink, flo lime green or chartreuse are my favorite fletching colors. Usually with white or color matched wraps.

I love pink, but most of my current arrows are white. They are easier to see in low light.

I hear ya on how many chartreuse leaves are on the ground this time of year. I thought the same thing who can't see chartreuse in the woods?  Me. I lost a few arrows in those early season leaves too. Right now I use a white cap two flo orange and one black.  I'm thinking of going with a blue instead of the black or two blue and one orange.  Blue does stand out good in the woods when the forestry uses blue ribbons they stand out better than any other color. I never used blue because although deer are color blind I read certain colors stand out like a neon sign to them blue being one of them. But I now use a fletch cover so being seen would not be an issue. Hmmm maybe all blue   :cool:
