I' m using two yellow with one chartreusse. When I got my doe it seemed the blood showed pretty good on the yellow but not as good on the chartreusse. As for finding them after you shoot...I' m still looking for one I lost in the fallen yellow leaves last year. Maybe someone else found it after the leaves browned later on. When I get new arrows I' m switching to something easier to spot in the fall colors.

This season, I' m running all white. Three 5" shield cut feathers and white Bohning Classic nocks. I don' t use a bow quiver so I don' t have to worry about them waving around like a white flag. Also, it rarely snows here during hunting season.

Really, one of the best colors is hot pink. Just kinda difficult to look all tough and macho in all your camo and stuff with pink fletches. [&:]

What color fletching shows blood the best
Without a doubt, white.

But I have to say for me the color of fletching really doesn' t matter much anymore. I have so many vanes laying around right now that I just grab the first pack in the drawer. Currently, this year, I am using 2 purple and 2 black. I just made a few arrows for friend, one set was done with 4 white vanes, and the other set was 2 gold and one black. I have to say that the gold looked better then I thought it would. My wife said that they look like Halloween arrows though. After she said that, I had to agree.
