I use white feathers, usually 2 white and a brown and white mixed. you cant miss em, good for that low light min.It's also good for checking blood or stomach matter on your arrow after the shot. usually whenI shootI follow thru until the arrow hits, with the white feathers it helps alot.

I shoot 2 red and one white vane with a white nock. I always see my arrow hit (or, most of the time, disappear) in the animal. You just watch the spot you're aiming for, and use brighter colors for your fletching.
I used a Lumenock this year and you could see the arrow in flight half way to the deer and then impact and pass through. But you really want to make sure not to peek around the bow to see the arrow fly. Keep your eye on the spot you aimed for, until it hits.

I shoot with both eyes open and can usually see my arrow's fight when shooting at the range, 30 yards or more. I have made some bad shots this season trying to see where my arrow was going to hit. I did not follow through and actually pulled the bow down to see if my arrow hit it's mark. I'm not going to worry about it anymore though. I used to trust myself and not worry about seeing the arrow in flight. Don't get into a bad habit just trying to see your arrow! It will only cause you frustration and heartache.

When shooting short distances I don't see it in flight, shooting longer I do. Make sure you are concentrating on the spot you aimed at, not looking for the arrow.
When hunting, I usually see it hit the deer, but it's not what you really think it looks like. I shoot flo orange nocks and what I tend to see is a VERY brief splash of color on the tan/brown aiming spot in the chest, just a flash then its gone cause the arrow passed through. I even saw this flash on an elk I shot at 4 yards.
If you have decent eye sight, proper follow through and aiming you should be able to see the arrow go all the way to the target.
You should still be concentrating on aiming after the arrow hits the target. You may have a problem with dropping your bow arm or trying to peek around your bow when you shoot to see where it hits. If you do things right you don't need to do this.
Same thing applies to rimfire rifles. I can usually see the bullet travel to the target through my scope.

Your not doinganything wrong! Some people see them and some don't. Some times it depends on the color's your using on your fletching and nocks weather or not you may see them.
Luminocks, or any lighted nock, I would neverNOT use one after shooting 4 deer with them this year and a few last year. Even when target shooting you can see how the arrow is traveling, and they last for hours, at least mine do. Ihave opened my bow case in the morning and found a few lit up over night still glowing bright. I get many hours use of most of them. Occasionally one only lasts a shorter time but still worth it to me by a big margin.
Do you all see your arrow hit and how??
