Might be a weird question. I have always (maybe cause of tradition) but I have always used a cock feather of a barred type. Problem is my eye catches it spinning and looks like it's wobbling.

Do many of you just use the same colour. I am going to try four fletch.

Next question is colour - wraps and feathers.

I am going to try flour green/lime for both to see how they pick up in the shade of day that is a bit darker. I used to use white with barred cock and they seem to disappear plus looks like it's wobbling.

I use all of the same colors but I am currently using three fletch. I want to try four fletch when I actually get a fletching jig though. Never used green. All of my arra's are orange or orange and white. They're extremely bright, and my favorite color.

I use the same color most of the time (white) I like to be able to see my arrow in low light while hunting. It helps me know where I hit the animal.LCH

Just made up a doz with bright yellow wraps and chartruse 3 fletch. I put a small black mark on cock feather just for reference. I'll post some pics tonight if I remember.

The last doz I made were all white 3 fletch but spliced the end of the cock feather with a red fletch.

I do it sometimes, 3 barred or 3 same color.  The colored cock feather never seemed to be that much of a help to nock an arrow.

Personally I have trouble finding arrows with green fletch. I prefer Pink, orange and yellow for visibility jmo.

I have been playing with colors, and did a couple of arrows, usually 3 fletch, of the same color, purple feather on a purple cap color, I did a white feather 3 fletch on a red cap color.

That being said I use the index nocks and let my fingers do the nocking without having to look.

I have some chartruse caps with natural barred turkey that I like real well, all three the same.

I have to shoot the same color on all of the  feathers, my eye picks up the odd ball cock too. Looks like it's wobbling, even though I know it's not.
For years I have shot nothing, but 4 fletch.
Chartreuse is a fine color till you shoot it in the grass, or go turkey hunting without a blind.
Use a nock with an index, and color doesn't matter. Just feel your arrow onto the string.
I never have to look at my string to nock an arrow.

FLO- YELLOW : 3 fletch & 4 fletch

 

I use a heavy helicoil all three the same color.

Two Tone : FLO YELLOW/FLO LIME - 4 fletch

 

Depends on what feathers I have on hand but I often use the same color.I like index style nocks for hunting for nocking an arrow in the dark anyway so color is never a problem.

Those look great Terry. That is about what I use, flo yellow wraps, lime feathers and flo nocks. They glow right at dark and at daylight, and blood shows up great on them. Only other color I use is white on white with flo green nocks. I can see these hit the side of a deer better than any other colors, have tried them all over the years.

I like to use orange also. Although those are some nice lookin' arrows you got there Terry. I also like a 1/4" strip of rabbit fur inbetween the nock and the feathers. When it hits the fur puffs out and gives a good look on where it hit. Doesn't seem to bother arrow flight.
Fred....

All the same color, I feel for the index bump on my nocks for alignment when putting the arrow on the string.

those will keep you up at night.

Ditto the above. Been shooting that way for years.

I use four pinks, white wrap, and white or pink nocks. They are easy to "see", but are not quite as bright as Terry's!        

I use flow yellow/Chartruse and ALWAYS fletch with 3 -4" parabolic feathers of the same color . Ocassionally I use another color but always go back to my favorite.

I use nocks that I can index so when a feather starts to wear I can rotate another in towards the shelf.
