I use reflective white wraps with two white feathers and a pink cock feather. This combination is easy to see and doesn't spook game that can see color near as much as all pink in my experience.

I've found pink to be the easiest to see in any conditions - snow, fallen leaves, spring-green leaves.  White is lost in snow, flo-green can be difficult to find in autumn aspen or cottonwood leaves and early spring green-up.  Red & orange can be tough in colored leaves.  Blue is good too, but can be more difficult to see in low light or with a flashlight than pink.

I lost a few arrows in the woods, the yellow, red and orange. So I bought a 1000 piece shield low profile

I'll shoot any color feathers as long as the Flo. Pink.

The bright pink shows up better than any other color I've ever used for shooting in the woods.  Give it a try.

I have used this pattern for years and never had a deer spook from the blue or jump the string and they are easily found when shot.

I love the reflective tape idea, but still all white fletches for me

Bowwild

I've found (no pun intended) that blue is a color my eye picks up in the woods very well. Problem is I also like barred feathers. They are difficult to find in the correct wing to match my single-bevel broadheads and blue to boot.

I currently use white with a flo. lime green cock feather and a 1/4" wide strip of reflective tape just ahead of the nock.  This strip has saved me a lot of arrows.  But I decided awhile ago that I was going to switch to a flo. pink cock feather once I got rid of all my green ones.  Why?  Because the flo. lime green does get kinda lost in the early season.

Hard to see blue feathers when you are shooting, just saying.

White works great but I always fear the deer are going to see it. I made a few pink ones this year.  They work really well. Just gotta get past using "girly" arrows!

Love my 3 pink feathers with white reflective wrap

Swamp Yankee

I can pick blue out in the woods much better than any other color; and the way I shoot it's important!  In flight, nothing beats white for visibility but I'd never carry a quiver full of white feathers in the woods around here; too dangerous.

I love yellow barred feathers, in fact I shot my last deer with them on a cedar shaft behind a Bear Razorhead. Never did find the arrow. I've lost so many stumping and hunting in the fall woods (not to mention 3D) that I've switched to flo. pink. Pretty hard to lose.
We are all here because we are not all there.

After giving my friend Raineman such grief over his flo pink feathers I'd have to eat humble pie to switch.

I tried about every color and the pink wins hands down for me. I lose chartruese shooting at squirrels and in yellow leaves. The "girly" comments don't bother me a bit.

This stuff ain't no rocket surgery science!
