fletch /feather color

[Fletcher]

This is what Trueflight calls chartreuse.  I think the actual feather may be slightly lighter than this picture shows.  This is my choice for visibility.

After seeing a good handful of those chartreuse or flo/green feathers I think I'll be going back to all three feathers Chartreuse in a shield cut with a matching cap color or white. Flecther those are a simple classy arrow! Thanks for sharing everyone.

I'm an all orange or yellow guy.  Yellow and yellow barred looks sharp.  Although my hunting arrows are all orange currently.

I had a wonderful weekend stumpshooting, and I can say that orange makes an arrow easy to find!

F-Manny, how were the orange arrows to see during flight? What type of feather cut were you using?

[MnFn]

White, or Yellow or red

Interesting how cameras / computers influence how colors appear.  One of my favorite combos is purple / chartreuse.  These are more lavender / chartreuse and the cresting starts at my brace height.

I went with chartreuse 4-fletch (5" long shield) on white wraps last Fall hunting and found that they blended too much with the aspen leaves in Colorado. This year I'll go with white 4-fletch on fluorescent pink wraps.

Orange and yellow disappear around here once the leaves change and start falling.  I was out looking at my usual pink and white fletching today with the camera on my phone turned to black and white.  I was a little surprised how bright would look to a deer.  The pink turned a nice light gray and all but disappeared.  My hunting arrows will be pink now!

All Orange on my arrows .
Yes you can see them in flight and they have good contrast on deer and bears . I rarely loose them when I miiiiss!

Had Gary at D & M Custom Arrows put these together this past year...figure they ought to show up under most conditions.

I have shot some combination Hot Pink in the past for visibility but have started shooting Chartreuse colors more recently. I am happy with Chartreuse too for the visibility. Last seasons hunting shafts.



Hmm! the fletches look more yellow in the picture. I really like these Super nocks too.

Here's a photo comparison of my old chartreuse fletching on fluorescent yellow wraps compared to my new white fletching on fluorescent pink wraps. The white fletching show up best in flight and the fluorescent pink wraps show up best in an animal or after a pass-thru. The chartreuse fletching look great but blend in too much with the foliage.

I use different colors as the seasons change. Orange or Red in spring and summer and White or a combo with white,try finding red, orange, green, or yellow in the fall in the Midwest,deep into winter anything but White.

I love this thread! So many different opinions but it does seem like Chartreuse is very popular. Pinky those fletches in your picture look yellow but I think it's an illusion due to the bright yellow cap.I like the bright flo-green nocks too! LongbowArcitect I like both sets of fletches you have in the quiver.They do blend in so well with the background foliage but I bet they look great in flight or against the dark hair of an anmial. Like a tracer! I'm starting to think pink but goodness it just seems a bit out of in the woods.Thanks for all the input.

I like all yellow, all chartreuse, or all white for visibility.  Having said that - I'm a fletching addict so my arrows tend to look different every season.

Another one that I can see very well in flight is the "lime" color from AMG Feathers. At low light conditions, that color literally glows.

Believe it or not, white is the easiest color for a deer to pick up. I avoid white while hunting. I use a 4 fletch, 4.5 inch parabolic, hot pink on uncrested doug fir shafts.

[LongbowArchitect]

I use a camo fletching cover over my white fletching just in case Newhouse is correct.

I must say when hunting I'm an all red guy
