Here in pa there are so many leaves that are yellow, orange and red on the ground it makes it very hard to find my arrow. im going to have to go with something totally different next year. i dont know what to get but it will be something that stands out against those leaves.     :knothead:

rob that's probably what i will be going with. i would try blue but am afraid of getting shot on public land from looking similar to turkey head.

Pink or blue stand out the best, at least around here.    :scared:

I wish I could find a flo blue feather or wrap. Would like to make an ugly flo pink, chartruese, flo blue combo.

I use a chartruese and blue combo.  They work great.

No blue for me!  Reflects uv like a black light to deer and elk.

Pink is a great solution.  Your SO might rib you a bit though.  ;)

I like yellow because I see it in flight the best. I add a wrap of reflective tape from the auto dept. at Wallyworld. It costs a couple bucks for 10' and that will do lots of arrows. If you lose track of one just wait until dark (or even dusk) and hit the area with a flashlight. I've even found arrows buried in grass this way. They look like this:

 

They are even brighter in full dark, but they just look white in full daylight.

I use yellow reflective wraps and have waited till dark myself to find arrows. I like the pink tho.

I like the Florescent green myself. i can really see it in flight better with the white wraps too.

BUT..... look at that reflection on my quiver in this photo. I had one of my hog hunting shafts in there i forgot about. i put a couple inches of that reflective tape on my shafts to help find them at night. I never thought about what happens when the sunlight catches that tape just right.   :eek:  

Needless to say.... i've removed all that tape from my shafts.

Haven't seen any leaves this color yet!

 
I always wanted to add the fluffy feathers to the ends of my arrows. 2 questions: where do you get them and how do you apply them?

They call them fur tracers. You can make them with a rabbit hide or just order them at three rivers archery. They come with instructions. Just an adhesive backing that you peel off.
