Just wondering what color fletchings u guys would reccomend for visibility. For when i lose an arrow in the grass i will be able to find it, i know pink is probably the most visible due to the fact that nothing in the woods is pink, but was hoping for a little more manly. Thanks guys
PINK!!!!!!!!!!!
White cap dip and chartrouse/lime feathers, white or flo green nock. They will glow!
I prefer all white.
Blue is another hi-vis color, especially with a white cap dip.
You know, I've never found a color that helped me find arrows! I've dipped them end to end in vermillion, put on white fletchings are still lost 'em in an inch of grass.
I like white feathers. I prefer a white cock feather as it seems to be enough. I also cap dip white. A bright colored nock would help also.
All white is working well for me.
If shooting extreme FOC arrows, be prepared to dig. Since I switched to 300 grains up front, the arrows dissappear when you miss. I never used to shoot through hay bales until about a month ago. A bright nock is vital. For me its chart. more often than not.
I tell you what i love posting somethinng on here bc you guys respond very quick. I should have mention i am shooting alaskan grizzly stiks and i am gonna try my best not to lose them because they are so much, they shoot awesome though. Keep the suggestions coming!
Flo yellow/green is my favorite.
My favorite is chartruese feathers and flo-yellow wraps,nice and bright.
All three of my fletches on my arrows are solid white. I can see these best when it's first getting light in the early morning or the fading light at the end of the day.
Anybody buy into the UV sensitive deer eyes?
If so The white fletchings from trueflight and the like fluoresce like crazy
Just sayin....
White.
HEY! It's not pink, it's HOT SALMON.
And I love it and recomend it. The easiest arrows to find I've ever not lost are my pink, er, um, .... I mean the salmon color fletched ones. :thumbsup:

These work very well...
Chartreuse, they also show great in low light. You can also use reflective wraps, or at least 1/2" to 1" strip around the shaft next to the nock. If you can't find it, come back after dark and a flashlight will turn that arrow into a beacon.
I have good luck with 2 white and 1 black.

There are many choices and mostly likely not one is perfect in every situation. I am shade deficient. When it is dark outside, to others, it is pitch black to me. White, yellow and pink seem to work best for me. I routinely had to get the kids to find the chartruese and red fletched arrows.
I like bright light red (others may call them pink). I see them fly well and I can find them most of the time. The bright yellow nock also helps.
Chart. Hens and nock, Flo Orange wraps or cap dip, and Flo Orange Cock feather.
The most visible i used is orange hen and white cock feathers. Couldnbt get myself to fletch in pink...perhaps i am not manly enough :p
I'm using yellow feathers with a white cap and nock this year. They show up fairly well.
I like all Chartruese or lime...it is my understanding that green is the last color refelcted by a human eye in low light -- thus the reason all top pins on bow sights are green...you see it the best.
The lime color from AMG feathers is ridiculously bright to me in low light conditions. White is always a good choice as well.
Pink shows up awesome in the strong daylight, but I lose it in really low light, as "reds" are the first to go in the vision spectrum as light fades -- at least that's my understanding.

Experimented with colored feathers through the years and the highest visibility for my eyes are
chartreuse/florescent green with a florescent green nock, especially in low light.
Take, you favorite color and hot pink, white, and chartreuse fletching, and just at dark, shoot them in your yard just out of your low light sight. Notice which one look highest viz in flight, then walk over the direction of shooting and see which on your eyes picks up first in the grass. Chartreuse for me everytime.
Although only my number one arrow is fletched chartreuse, the others in the quiver are natural barred turkey with white nocks, because I've been busted by bright fletching the woods.
Say or think what you want, but from my experiences, all animals seem to pick up white or light bright colors with movement, where as you may get away with a little more movement with natural barred.
flo green/ chartruce, glows in low light. I use a chartruce bannana barred/solid with chartruce zebra wraps from onestringer. theyll get you lined out with your perfect wrap.
Two orange and a white. White nock.
I can actually see them spin in the air.

PINK!!! 2 pink one white. And wrap them with reflective tape so you can find it in the dark.
