Feather Color/Shaft Color

[TheWildCat]

Question? What Color Feathers/Arrow shaft are easiest to spot amoung the leaves and branches in the woods? ***NOTE***...The
Redneck in me excludes Bubblegum-Pinks and all variations there of as a choice!!! I have a dark red arrow shafts with yellow feathers, and they disappear right in front of me.

I'd  just use plain old White Shafts...and two with White Turkey Feathers and one Barred.....and then I still carry an Arrow hook to drag for them sometimes!!

I'm with Mike (whoa- that's scary...  ) white is the way to go.

I  think  it  is  a  mistake  to  use  bright  colors  on  hunting  arrows, if  your  idea  is  going  stealth  the  colors give  you away,
even  if  your  target  is  colorblind  other  critters  are  not  (which  often  sound  a warning  upon  your  discovery),
     I crest  bright  bands  on  the  arrow  below  the  feathers so they  are  concealed  by  the  quiver  until  they  are  drawn:)

 I shot a turkey at 10 yards two years ago and he wasn't alarmed enough to get out of the way. And he was looking right at me when I shot. Sand in orange groves down here is white, fungus on oak trees in the swamp is white and some is bright red and orange. If you don't make a sudden movement I don't think it matters, at least it didn't with the dead critters I've shot. When I use white fletching and shafting, I can find my arrow easier if I miss and when I hit something I can be sure of where I hit it. Which helps when it comes time to blood trail one.

Of  all  the  critters  you  choose as  an  example of  when  NOT  to  conceal,  you  choose  the  turkey? Well,
maybe a  'turkey' is  the right one  after all:)

 I use all colors, usually natural turkey or white.. dark blue feathers work great in the leaves and snow..

I use 2 Canada Goose and 1 Turkey on my arrows.  Can't find 'em very easily in the leaves, but I was surprised how well it stood against the color of a deer.

There is a train of thought that white feathers make you a better shot because you can see the arrow trajectory when practicing. It is probably more true if you are stump shooting.

I wouldn't use blue during turkey season!
