Kinda.  I have a few matched blunts to my hunting shafts and always carry two with me (and five broadheads) for stumpin mid-day.  Or those damn red squirrels.

My small-game, stumping shafts I made up blue cock & shaft and yellow hens and nock.  Fiebings Leather Dye, again.  They show up good in the leaf litter and snow.  These are Douglas fir.

     

And when bunny season comes you want a couple.

Shades of yellow/chartreuse are the easiest for me to follow, but I like green or orange barred best.

 

 

 

 

I'm really liking this color, but I haven't seen it anywhere since I scooped these up a while back from a shop that was closing its doors.

I ve been using a gray shaft with black crown and three black Fletch for winter small game.  Show up good in the snow.

I'm all about pink for big game with one diversion a few years ago into a yellow cock with two yellow/ orange barred on a plain shaft.

For my eyes nothing stands out in flight like pink.

I use fluorescent yellow with one bow, and fluorescent orange for another. I use the same arrows for both bows just different spines so I use two colors to keep me straight. I use four fletch so I don't need a different color for a cock fletch.

For the last several years I have been using red and yellow. I think they look good and with a white nock I can see the flight of the arrow pretty well.

I also made up some spliced arrows that I like.These really show up well with the white feather tails and white nocks.

I use 3, 5" white shield cut with a white wrap. In snow, I use 3, 5" chartreuse shield cuts with a chartreuse wrap.
