Personally I like to use 3 black 4" feathers. Guess it's just a hanger-on from my old field and target days---30+ years ago. I was coached by a pro and he always drummed into my head that all I should be doing is aiming till my arrow hit it's intended target. The mind should be doing nothing else. Therefore I never found a need to see my arrow going, and still don't. I know where it is going by just knowing where my pin was when the bow went off.

I was told once that pink was a good choice for fletchings since it's the only color that doesn't naturally appear in the woods. True or not, I'm not sure, but I never had any reason to disbelieve it. I generally use two yellow blazers and one orange, though. Pink never seems to be available when I go to purchase fletchings and I just want the brightest possible. I guess I'm a little hesitant to use white since I hunt with snow on the ground quite a bit.

I use all white fletching with a white nock and white wrap or cap dip.Snow has never been a problem--there's usually blood on it

Pink may not be the most macho color but with the property getting logged a few years back, there is an abundance of pink logging tape all around and it is very easy to see, even little scraps and pieces, now you would think a arrow with orange and white vanes would be easy to find? Looked for one of those for a couple hours this spring, never found it, even have it on tape falling out of the deer, but found 4-5 chunks of that logging tape, makes me think that might be what the hunting arrows will be fletched with this year, with maybe a nice white wrap also........
