Default Most visible vane colors come upland season

Ordered some new arrows and plan on some upland for fall of 2022.
Contemplating best color combination to use allowing easy finding of missed shots in grass of fall colors. Was thinking of hot pink wrap with yellow vanes.

Suggestions ?

Blue and fluorescent yellow for me. Blue isn't a common color in nature so it tends to stand out for me. Pick a shade or color that "pops" to your eyes. Wraps are another option to look into. My buddy dips his early season arrows white, tip to tip.

I like pink for visibility, so I usually do a white wrap with 2 white/ 2 pink. The white is so I can see why kind of blood I have on a hit.

Lighted nocks are pretty good but if anyone ever invents a nock that beeps after it is fired he will make a fortune. Fluorescent orange and white would be my vote.

Yep - one white, two fluorescent orange, red nockturnal. Tried many and this combo gave me the best recovery rate.

I like blue/white the best or pink/white. Or the tiger striped vanes would be good. Anything that stands out from yellow, orange, red leaves.

I have never done the wraps but that sounds like it would really work.

I was contemplating a yellow wrap with pink vanes. I like the lighted nock idea.- may have to invest in that too.

Arrow

Fluorescent Pink vanes & wrap with the new ultra bright Luminoks.
Nothing in nature is that color.
Since going this route I recover well over 90% of the arrows I've shot.
Vast improvement.

And... It brings a whole 'nother definition to the term Sink The Pink!!

Cheers,
Nog

I use pink vanes and I feel after years of trying all Color’s, they are the easiest to find.

Now lighted nocks make an even bigger difference and there isn’t a better lit nock the Firenocks. Not easy to install and pricey but lifetime warranty and changeable batteries. For me, they were a game changer.

I’m running fluorescent yellow wrap, two neon red vanes and one white. I don’t have good luck with lighted nocks in really cold weather. Always found my arrow with these so far

Blue and Pink combo. Why vanes are made in naturally occurring green, yellow and orange is beyond me.

Breadcrumb nocks. They beep, flash and are trackable via Bluetooth. Just googled them, first I've heard of this. Crazy
