Title: Anyone Wear Pink? Feathers.
Post by: Paul Mattson on February 10, 2009, 09:17:00 PM
This is the first time I used the Twin Shijo cut on a dipped and crested shaft.

Those are some nice looking arrows. Do those feathers make alot of noise?

I have great fun with pink feathers, easy to see in flight and where I hit, and prompts endless barbs and friendly rivalry on the 3D courses. The only disadvantage is shooting first - everyone else has a bright aiming point in the target!

As soon as I pick up some pink fletching, it'll be on my hammerheads for stumping.

I shoot pink/white or chart/white...4 fletch.
Been making them this way for years.
Of course I hear about it from some guys...I really don't care.
The problem is the same as skarcher is saying, its easier for others to see your arrows if you shooting at nocks....thats why I do have some arrows that I've painted FLAT BLACK!!!!
Those are some fine arrows you've put together.

For more than 15 years I have been using 2 hot pink and 1 grey barred. 5  1/4" banna cut.

Started out shooting pink just to piss off a buddy at the range.

I also wear a pink bandanna on the scooter and at work.  Nobody ever gives me a hard time about it.  Huh?

I use pink feathers.  Easiest feather to see for me in the fall, if I miss.  know for a fact deer cann't see them (had a buck 5 yeards from me on ground walked right by).  Great to see in flight.

I use Pink and Pink/Barred. If my fletching can't be seen from Space, it's not bright enough!

What about that twin shijo fletching Paul? Are there any advantages to it over 5" shield cut? Is it noisy?
Title: Re: Anyone Wear Pink? Feathers.
Post by: Paul Mattson on February 11, 2009, 01:54:00 PM
The only arrows that I tried the shijo on are, arrows for my self bow.  Didn't notice any noise diff. The only advantage is the different look. And they look great coming from a Horse Bow.

Paul, we have team pink at my bunny hunt the last few years. I believe we have about 15 or more guys who shoot pink. I just did up a dozen kids arrows with pink, 1/2 dozen will go to our raffle!! Guys Paul makes some sweet arrows and he donated to my hunt this year!! Thanks again and nice looking sticks there! Shawn

Those are my wifes arrows that I ordered. Man she is excited to get them! I bought her a HH Wesley for Christmas and it has white fiberglass on the back and belly. I also ordered her pink/white strings from BGRAM and she wanted arrows to match. Hence this order from Badger Arrow.

I will post pics of the whole setup when they arrive. Well, she wanted it to be all about her so, I of course had to oblige the boss!   :bigsmyl:

Does TrueFlite make PINK feathers in the 5 inch SHIELD cut in RIGHT WING.  I was going to try some, but 3 Rivers didn't carry any right wing.  Anyone know if they make them and where a good place to get them are?  I'd like to try some this spring because I have a hard time seeing my arrows in flight.  Right now I use BRITE YELLOW feathers with either YELLOW or WHITE wraps.

Those are some great looking feathers in the first post to this thread.

I'm glad to see others with such good taste and not afraid to show them off. I just finished up my first 1/2 dozen with pink feathers last weekend. I took a lot of ribbing at the club on Sunday but I sure do like the color combo.

I got a great deal on a bag of pink feathers a couple of years ago. Guy at the store almost gave em away he wanted out of them so bad. Well i gave a bunch to a friend in exchange for fletching a doz for me. I'm all done with that doz and wish I had more pink as I am fletching my own now. Have to find some more.

I vote pink too.  Hardly anything in the woods has the same color to confuse ya.

I quit all red years ago.  As the light fades or even on a dark day they are hard to see.  Last time ever used red I had two red and a black cock feather.  Walking out of the woods just after shooting light they looked like three blacks!

I see pink better than any other color.

I get a little bit of razzing from the fellas at the shoots. I always tell them,"You've either gotta be one heck of a shot or awfully good at fighting to shoot pink feathers!" After the first ten targets they all know I can't shoot worth a darn.  

God Bless, Dave

I shoot pink Bohning X vanes on my tournament rig. I started it last year to raise money for a local breast cancer foundation. I am not changing this year cause I kinda like them plus hey we all need to be aware of breast cancer.
