These aren't bright...but I've been trying something different for me.

No pics! And I always like to oogle your arrow creations.
Mine are nothing special. I use plain black carbon shafts ans 1 florescent yellow and 2 white feathers.
Bisch
Sounds like they show up good Bisch.
WOW :D AWESOMEEEE looking arrows Snag :thumbsup:
As always, those are the bomb, snag!
Greta work!
Bisch
Just wish it didn't take so long to splice them up...still, I can't stop doing it! Must be a sickness.
Wow! I just noticed your hog Bisch! Great animal.
David
nice arrows, show up great in any conditions..
I used to always go with a 7" white arrow wrap and three 5" all white shield cut feathers (everything white). They had good visibility, but I have found my eye can pick up the chartrues stuff much better. I have been using various combinations of chartrues yellow and hot pink for both the wraps and fletching. Those things really stand out.
I tried the all red look like Fred Asbell, but I couldn't see those at all, especially on a cloudy day or low light.
Very nice. I would be afraid to shoot them they look like too nice.

I have another set of the chartruese that are solid 4 fletch. Chart fletch and nock on a white crown really shows up for me and the white makes the nock glow. Don't need those electric nock thingies.
David sent you a pm

Nice crest! 'Nam service ribbon if I am not mistaken!?
Orange and flo pink, flo green count?

How about white?

Good eye! Pink and white work good, too, but I'm not ready for pink yet. Orange is bright as long as the sun is shining but goes dark on me when the sun goes down.
I am about to make my first set of arrows for one of my daughters, these feathers are on there way to me I think these should be bright enough!

Need sun glasses scrolling this thread
Wow! that first bunch sure are bright. Wish i had some arrows like that. Come to think of it i do as they are my arrows! Awesome job David! TD.
Snag read a study done by some university and it said that Sky or Baby Blue was one of the easiet colors for the human eye to see. I just did a set with a baby blue crown and 3 baby blue feathers and not brigth but can see them absolutely perfect in flight. Shawn
shawn just dont wave them around to much if you take them turkey hunting

hahaha! Hi Tim! Love how they turned. Good choice.
Hope you like them.
Shawn, I've heard that about blue. I am currently making some for myself. I will be dying the feathers soon. Would have never thought blue would be that visible...must be.
Bright?
You want bright?
I just finished these today. That's red iridescent paint on the crown and fluorescent orange nocks.

Guy
Good lookin' arrows guys!
Mine kinda look like you dunked them into the flo orange or flo yellow paint... :)
9" Onestringer wrap, 4 fletch with 4" Right wing flo orange or flo yellow shields and matching nock. Functional as they show up well, and hidden nicely in my Arrowmaster...

I'm kinda liking the baby blue cap on these old school arrows I spruced back up...

In the daytime I see Flo. Orange the best.

In early morning or late evening it's either white or flo. green/yellow that my eyes pick up the best.

I four-fletched some TF blue on a white crown for a friend. They were very easy to see, follow and find. Not much in the woods is blue. They would darken some at dusk or dawn tho. They were great for 3-D and made a good aiming point on the target. :D
Very nice arrows guys!
Does the blue pick up the UV spectrum of light and tend to glow a bit in dim light?
You guys make some pretty nice, bright arrows. However, I'm thinking you only need to make them bright when you're not sure where they're going?! :p :scared:
:laughing:
p.s. A little bird just told me there's a creation on the way to my neck of the woods from Snag. WooooHooooo! :clapper: :clapper:
I got tired of looking for them on bad shots during small game hunts. Now I'm a pink feathers guy for a bit to see how well they work for me. I don't care for the way they look but they ought to be easy to spot and unique at the range.

Fred,
I thought those nocks looked familiar!
If you are red-green colorblind as I am, blue and yellow show up best. Also in our fall woods blue shows up real good in all the red and yellow bushes. Bob
All I can say is, all of these arrows are disgustingly beautiful ! I would be afraid to shoot them.
Keep up the good work.
Friends and myself do a lot of stump shooting during the winter months in the northeast. I shoot yellow and blue fletching, one friend shoots all orange. Both are easy to find, whether there is snow on the ground or not. Another friend shoots pink fletching. His are the easiest to see!
I've done my own study....and some of ya'll are playing make believe. :biglaugh:

I've heard that blue is easiest for the human eye to pick up but have not found it to be true for me. I can see them fine in daylight but when the moment of truth normally arrives in low light I can't see them very well. For me white shows up the best and makes it easy to read blood sign. But I am convinced that whitetails can easily see a quiver full of white arrows.
