Just for fun, what fletch color are you using?
« on: December 06, 2015, 06:24:00 PM »
2 orange hen with a white cock feather here.  When I finally get a new batch made up I was thinking I would do yellow hen/red cock for my broadheads and flo yellow hen/orange cock for my blunts.

What are you using this season? What is your favorite?

I've been using white and white barred for the cock feather, but made up a couple with yellow and yellow barred.  I like them.......ALOT!!!!

Visibility seems to be about the same as white.

Good luck, shoot straight and God bless,

I't seems like pink is considered by many to be the most visible color, while its not my favorite I always like to choose function over form. Especially when it comes down to finding a 13+ dollar a pop arrow.

 I just might have to try some of those all pink arrows big jim sells one of these days.

Very partial to red and yellow.

After years of using bright colors I have changed to autumn type darker colors.  I am convinced deer can see the white flash of my feathers.  I just made a doz sitka spruce using dark ebony stain, black nock black cock feather and two barred grey actually pretty cool.

Well my most recent sets of arrows have been whatever I had.... right wing or left wing, doesn't matter.l White, Blue Brown, Green, Chartreuse on and on.  haven't had a  matching set of fletching in about 3 years. Of course that only accounts for 2 dozen arrows.
Relax,

You'll live longer!

Bright blue cock feather, Flourescent pink hen feathers. 2 colors almost never found on the ground on nature, and easily visible even in low light.

White or yellow.  Thinking about red, but am a little concerned about seeing it in flight when shot in low light conditions.

My last set was white and white barred, I like them a lot.

I use 3 white or 3 flo. yellow. I like 3 the same color, like looking at a white or yellow ball flying to the target. And I splice diff. colors in.

For me with a diff. color cock feather it looks like the arrow is flipping on the way to the target.
