Fletching Color?

[mallard79]

What color is fletching is best?  Does it really make a difference when trying to read what kind of hit on an animal you made?

White wrap 2 flo green 1 flo yellow fletch. Those are the 2 colors I can see best.

It can really help recover your arrow and tell what kinda hit you got on an animal.

here's my hunting arrow.

i like a white wrap with two flo green and two flo orange fletchings with a flo orange nock my eyes follow those colors of fletching the best and its easy to tell what kind of blood you have with a white wrap.

My favorites are - Pink, Red, chartreuse (a bright lime green/yellow color).

White on the arrow shaft is hard to see if you miss in the snow (hard to find arrow) but shows up well in many other situations...

I like neon orange and white. On my trad arrows, I like chartreuse, orange and white. Pink is a easy to see color as well.

I like red and white i can find those the best

White wrap.  Two pink and one white fletching.

I think anything not black (which I do have on a dozen arrows - kind of dumb and I need to cut them off and replace) is fine.  Even then, you could probably figure it out - bubbles, no bubbles, green gut material, dark blood, bright blood, etc.  The main problem with black fletching is that they are hard to see in targets and make it a bit harder to find them if they hit the ground.

Thanks for all the input.  I want to try a few different combos but wasn't sure where to start.  I have been using  bright green and yellow.  Just not sure if I really like the combo that much.

I've been shooting 3 white for a few years now and that definitely my favorite for hunting makes it really easy to check for blood on a pass through..
And for 3D its always fun to shoot a solid black or brown fletch along with a dark (or white depending on target) nock, to throw people off

[alumaweld01]

I use a white wrap with two neon green and pink

[GoldTip]

For hunting generally run 2 flo yellow and one white with a white nock.  For 3d, 2 black, one dark purple and a black nock.

I like a white wrap, with one white vane and two neon green.  Also, a neon green wrap shows up well too.  The white is good for reading the hits, the neon green is a little easier to find.

I have the neon green and yellow.  Did not think about it at the time I put them on, but there is a lot of stuff out there that is about that same color.  I have lost several arrows in the underbrush because I could not see my fletching.  I think I am going to go with blaze orange and white next.

I have white wrap with orange and white and orange nock.. And yellow wrap with yellow and black Fletch with black nock.

Where we practice we are able to shoot as far as we could ever want to.  The largest target we have is a block target, when we shoot out at 90-100 yards, if you miss  (we don't have pins set for those ranges so we are estimating the drop) the arrow ends up mostly buried just under the surface of the grass with (usually) just the nock and the smallest piece of fletching showing if any.     I just picked up some blaze orange and some white Blazers and am gonna try using all the combos with those colors.  Probably gonna change the nock colors up as well since all of mine are white, green, or yellow right now.

For those of you who 4 fletch your arrows, are you using a helical or straight fletch set up?  I tried it with my Ez fletch mini fletcher with max right helical and had trouble getting it to paper tune. 

Thanks again for the input.
