Title: High Vis Arrows.....Pics
Post by: joe skipp on February 21, 2009, 12:17:00 PM
Alot of PM requests about AMG Florescent Feathers or "High Visibility". I just made up some arrows for my longbow, Flo Orange Dip w/Flo Orange Feathers. I also have Hot Pink pics....Perfect arrows for low light conditions. Flo Chart on a bright crown dip is also very effective.

Nice!  I like to have bright feathers for shooting 3D.  And though I gave in last weekend, I'm a little hesitant to use pink.

I always go with high visibility feathers. Hot pink, florescent orange....it's all good.    :)

Nice arrows.

I have a lot of hot pink fletch left, but I really like LaClair's "Firefly" arrows he sells.  I think I like the chartreuse better than what I use so after the pink it's florescent chartreuse!

Could you post another pic, looks like Terry pulled the last one.

I have been dipping with Bohning Blaze Orange, it is great for low light conditions.

Joe....they are still too big.  Not sure what is going on with all your pictures, but they are 800 pixels wide.

I'm not going to pull these, but see if you can figure it out...and if you need to get with Rob...just click the 'contact us' at the bottom of any page, and maybe he can walk you through it.

I'm only familiar with posting pics on the Trad Gang server, so I don't know much about posting them any other way.  

You have too much to contribute to have your pics pulled, and like stated on the other thread, we HATE pulling pics like the plague!!!

Nothing looks better on an arrow than real barred fletching, but they disappear when shot, esp in the low light of early morn or late evening.  I've been using the chartreuse for a few years and really like it for hunting.  Ugly as it may be, I can see it clearly right up to the end of shooting light.  I fletch most of my arrows with yellow, but always do a few in chartreuse and when on stand, they are the arrows that are waiting on my string.

Joe - you have got to please stop posting images wider than 640 pixels!

PLEASE read this topic about Trad Gang images and how to resize them right in Photobucket ...

http://tradgang.com/noncgi/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=045582

PM or email me if you need further help ...

but PLEASE don't post any more large images.

Thank you.

Still too wide Joe. They are 800 * 600. In photobucket when resizing just put 600 in the first spot and it should do it automatically for you.
real nice arrows.

Florescent chartuse 5 1/2" bananna cut, and a slow bow-- If you can't see em, how you gonna root for them, as they fly towards the mark? Also,
Use em,and you'll learn to shoot better--as the visual feedback you get from the CLEAR VIVID path the arrow travels, is a great teacher. They're also easier to find when you miss and finally,  they give you a clearer picture of where your arrow has struck on game.  White is just as good, IMO.

Can you get these in full length feathers, or only pre-cut?

Those are great looking arrows Joe!  I switched to all orange feathers with a orange cap dip and orange nocks myself last fall.  I've shot a number of animals with them since and have known exactly where everyone of my hits were.  Even in low light they glow almost like tracers.  Who needs luminocks with arrows like that?

My wife fletches my arrows for me and so she gets to choose color and stuff. Her favorite color is purple, so for a bit I had purple hens with a white cocking feather.  Unfortunately, the purple just disappeared.

Then she tried 2 white with a flo pink. Good, but not as visible as I liked. I wanted 1 flo chartreuse and 2 pink, but she said it was ugly.

So my current feathers are 2 flo pink and 1 white. Very visible.

considering bright wraps for the front of the arrow. Jazz shafts are purple and too dark to notice

Ive bought  a few fletches from Joe and the flo orange can be seen from a long way off.AMG makes a high quality fletch.
