Onestringer wraps and AMG feathers and nocks from Braveheart. Team Pink all the way!

How do the fluff tracers work for you?  Do they actually help or are they more of a "works great in theory but only marginally in practice" product?  Also, do they slow down the arrow any or not really?

Some Pink accents on the 'purse' would really set those arrows off!    :goldtooth:

Seriously though, nice looking arrows and sweet Haversack. I'll be shooting Pink early season, then Flo. Yellow when the leaves turn brown.

You should see them arrows all the way to the ribs Rob.
Not sure what to say about the purse  :p   It looks nice tho.

GDPOLK- they work like laserbeams.

GDPOLK, The tracers don't affect flight that I have seen. They work great though. Amazing how well they show up in flight. Really don't need bright fletching with them.

Do they match your shoes or make your butt look big?

I've started using some pink fletching and LOVE the visibility!

I've never shot pink feathers before.  Is there a practical purpose for that color, or is that just a personal fashion statement?  Is there anywhere that I could buy some of those tracers or do you make them yourself?  They would be helpful if they work.  I finally got my arrows tuned to my bow and now I can't track them for crap.  They were easy to track flying sideways.

I shoot pink with pink wraps cause I can see them and in honor of my Mom who is a breast cancer survivor since 1995. I leave the purse at home!
I like them..   :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:

tomsm44,

I got the fur tracers from 3 rivers.

To my eye the pink tracers show up best flying toward a big brown target.

The pink feathers and wraps show up good on the ground. Even chartruese sometimes blends a bit with dying grass or yellow leaves.

I add a small strip of reflective tape for finding at night and marking blood trails.

I shoot pink arrows as well. I shot them while my mom had breast cancer, and have continued shooting them because I can see them well. I need a pink wrap though.
Title: Re: Hold my purse and pink arrows while I .......
Post by: Gdpolk on August 29, 2012, 11:10:00 PM
I got some arrow wraps from a fellow member that are fluorescent yellow with fluorescent green zebra print like the ones in the picture below.  My next batch is going to get those wraps with bright pink feathers and a pink/red cock feather like the one below.  I've thought about adding the fluffy tracers as well.  I think I'll even do a somewhat matching batch of flu-flu arrow by alternating between bright pink and bright chartreuse/yellow-green using a 6 fletch helical offset pattern over the bright wraps as well.   :eek:  

It's good to know that the fluffy tracers really help.  I'll go ahead and get some for my next batch.  The arrows will be obnoxious as any I've ever seen but I ought to be able to find them without hesitation when stumping and small game hunting.  I've got bored with searching for arrows when taking "risky" or challenging shots while stumping.  Next batch of arrows is going to be as bright and obnoxious as I can make them to make finding them quick and simple.

Nice looking arrows guys!

Good example of the "find factor" on the ground there, Rob.
The flo colors are hard to beat for the visual aspect, which has a lot to do with the whole thing.
Pink is good for lots of reasons, actually.
That's a "Murse" on the man-purse thingy and nice inclusion of your makeup compact. You're really getting down with it...

Hold on there just a minute!

You cannot say you are officially "team pink" unless you have a pink bow string to match:

I have shot pink for quite a while now.  It's the only way to go.  They show up great and I can find them in the bushes when I miss.

Come on Rob tighten that ship up Brother. Get you a pink marker and take those quill edges from white to pink and you then have some good looking shafts.

Just kidding of course, they are nice. I marker all mine and it does make them look more finished without the white.
Title: Re: Hold my purse and pink arrows while I .......
Post by: Rob W. on August 30, 2012, 03:11:00 PM
Tom, I looked through all the kids markers lastnight for a pink with no luck. Thinking maybe a pink highlighter will do the trick.

Here is the pink fur tracer and a without on a brown target. I hope this is the last thing I see going through an Indiana bruiser this Fall.

Perry, It is a burlap sack thrown over a cheap bag target. A little black spray paint finishes the job. Sometimes I stuff it with old packing material from work.

Hi Rob,

I hope you and your domestic partner can come back to the Southern Indiana Bowhunt.  Bring the pink arrows. I'll buy you a glass of zinfandel and we can talk more about colors and stuff.

Love,

John

Post by: Rob W. on August 31, 2012, 03:35:00 PM
John,

I will take you up on the zinfandel. I hope there are plenty of big strong men around to drag my deer. Deer season is so hard on my nails.  :laughing:

My wife thinks I should "invent" some sort of hunting gadget that will makes us both rich. I think I have it: Pink knee-high rubber boots with high heels to go with the fletching and purse!

What do you think ????
