Default White fletchings?

I am going to fletch my arrows with two white feathers and one barred white. If I do a lot of hunting on the ground do you think I will have a lot of trouble with deer seeing my fletchings?

I have shot with three white fletchings for about 10 years now. Deer do not notice them. Turkeys on the other hand, pick them up from about 100 yards out. I now order 1/2 dozen arrows in white and 1/2 dozen in black for the turkeys.

I've shot 3 white barred for years.....they'll see you before they see your fletching.

I honestly dont think animals care about fletch color at all. wouldnt worry about it. if they can see your fletch color, they can see you, and they can smell you. Right now im shootin a mix of flourescent yellow/flourescent green and white/black. the white/black's on a CX-200 look pretty sweet.

I am not big on using multiple bright fletchings but there are enough folks who use all white ona regular basis and still get plenty of deer.

I've been hunting with a solid white wrap and three solid white blazers this season and haven't had a problem yet.
