Just wondering what color fletchings u guys would reccomend for visibility.  For when i lose an arrow in the grass i will be able to find it, i know pink is probably the most visible due to the fact that nothing in the woods is pink, but was hoping for a little more manly.  Thanks guys

White cap dip and chartrouse/lime feathers, white or flo green nock.  They will glow!

Blue is another hi-vis color, especially with a white cap dip.

You know, I've never found a color that helped me find arrows!  I've dipped them end to end in vermillion, put on white fletchings are still lost 'em in an inch of grass.

I like white feathers. I prefer a white cock feather as it seems to be enough. I also cap dip white. A bright colored nock would help also.

All white is working well for me.

If shooting extreme FOC arrows, be prepared to dig.  Since I switched to 300 grains up front, the arrows dissappear when you miss.  I never used to shoot through hay bales until about a month ago.  A bright nock is vital.  For me its chart. more often than not.

Flo yellow/green is my favorite.

My favorite is chartruese feathers and flo-yellow wraps,nice and bright.

All three of my fletches on my arrows are solid white. I can see these best when it's first getting light in the early morning or the fading light at the end of the day.

HEY! It's not pink, it's HOT SALMON.

And I love it and recomend it. The easiest arrows to find I've ever not lost are my pink, er, um, .... I mean the salmon color fletched ones.    :thumbsup:

These work very well...

Chartreuse, they also show great in low light. You can also use reflective wraps, or at least 1/2" to 1" strip around the shaft next to the nock. If you can't find it, come back after dark and a flashlight will turn that arrow into a beacon.

There are many choices and mostly likely not one is perfect in every situation.  I am shade deficient. When it is dark outside, to others, it is pitch black to me. White, yellow and pink seem to work best for me. I routinely had to get the kids to find the chartruese and red fletched arrows.
