Title: Wrap and fletching color
Post by: Whitetail freak on August 07, 2012, 10:49:26 PM: Im deciding what color fletching and wrap to add on my Easton A/C/C's I have narrowed it down to either neon green or solid white. Anyone had experience with the colors and how they worked as far a visibility and blood?

Giving you a better chance to see what kind of hit you made which could mean the difference in whether you recover the animal properly. As far as vane colors I think that a white cock vane and neon yellow hen vanes look pretty cool. Plus all three show blood really well.

my hunting buddy used white on white last season and lost just about every arrow he flung last year

Same here. My dad made fun of me until he saw how they glowed on a 3D target. He now has 2 pink and 1 white fletch on his arrows. For me it is all about being able to see the arrow bury into the big bulls side in the dark timber this fall!

Post by: whack em on August 09, 2012, 09:20:58 PM: Since some group of yahoos decided not to permit lighted nocks, I finally jumped on the bandwagon to wrap my arrows. I went with neon yello wraps, 2 neon yellow quickspins with a white knock vane. Here's the results:
