What color fletchings do you use

[classiccanadianblizzard]

Good morning to all. I was just wondering what color fletchings do you guys use on you hunting arrows? I want to change mine, and would like some opinions.

I use a bubbly red.

I think I use about 4 different sets of colors. You can never win, some are good in leaves, some aren't, some are good on black earth, some aren't, some are good at night, some aren't, some are good in the snow, snow aren't - no fletching color exists thats good for all conditions.

I'd look at the firenoks or lumenoks if anything.

You must have read my mind .... I was going to ask about those as well. I saw one guy at the range awhile ago that had them... they seem to work well. But back to the fletchings, I am thinking 2 orange and 1 white. I did most my hunting this year in the 406 and 314. Next year I will add to that the 320, a buddy of mine just bought a 1/4 up near Caroline

2 Lime Green & 1 White for me.

[Jason Balesdent]

Always used 2 lime green and one fluorescent orange. Seemed to work well in most conditions. Also used fluorescent red nocks with that mix.

[BlueNorther]

Two blaze orange,one hunter green.

[JohnB]

All white.

Thank you for your input guys... it will help alot when i change my fletching

Two bright orange and a neon yellow I find them easier to find in the woods and easier to see in the target. Brighter the better for me

Well it seems like the brighter colors are the most popular,which makes nothing but sense to me . . so forgive what might sound like a dumb question, BUT, do you think the animals will see those? I know they say deer are color blind and if they aren't... then why dress up to look like a tree . . only to hang christmas (oops.. can I use THAT word anymore?) ornaments off yourself... and if they are color blind, then besides the FUN factor, why dress up as a tree at all? As you guys may have guessed this IS my FIRST year hunting big game, so please forgive me

I'm thinking when I change my fletching I wanna go 1 green, and 2 BRIGHT pink. Pink strikes me as a very unnatural looking color. Plus luminoks.

My longbow has two Orange barred and one white, my recurve is two red barred and a blue but I am trying two yellow barred and a white also on my chicken arrow. I used to have two natural barred and a blaze pink and it showed up very well in the grass. And anyone who commented on the pink was invited to pull my longbow to see if they were man enough. It seems more common now. Every time I get my feathers wrecked I change colors

pink & white

[classiccanadianblizzard]

mmmm... The pink being a unnatural color in the bush is a VERY good point, that one might be the winner!! I wonder, if anyone says anything about it, if I could tell them "My bow is in the shop", so I am FORCED to use my wife's until mine gets back

Did you see the mythbusters where they did the test with the bulls??? They didn't care what color it was, as long as it was moving the bulls went after it. pretty cool stuff.
