Default RE: Question for " lookers"

Coug,
For me it depends upon lighting conditions and the color of my nock/vane combo mostly......I have some shots in my mind that I can still see as clear as a bell , and others where I couldn' t tell you where I hit the deer only that I was SURE the shot felt good.
The ones I couldn' t see were ususally early morning, weird light or late in the evening combined with poor choices in arrow colors....combined with 300fps speed doesn' t really help.
I shot a doe last year with my very pretty " Fall Woods" styled arrows (1 brown 2 orange barred feathers with dark orange nocks on camo shafts) looked really nice but when I shot that deer I saw NOTHING. Might as well have been a bullet.
I switched right back over to bright chartruese/white with white nocks and they show up great.

Being able to see where that arrow hit is a big help in proper game follow up , so I have officially sworn off arrows just for " Style" ........it' s all function now.[:-]
