Orange crest, two orange and one white. Only use the white so I can see blood from the tree if the arrow is sticking out of the ground.

I think that I have used every combo under the sun at one time or another. My newest arrows are fletched with blue and white feathers. I never really had a hard time finding arrows while hunting, but I usually don't shot past 30 yards, and it is usually from an elevated stand.

My longbow arrows are fletched with two white and one black feathers.

I have my arrows dipped and crested, then use two chartruse vanes with a flo. orange cock vane. It helps, but I still lost an arrow this season. The doe I shot covered it with blood, then it must have slid under some grass somewhere. Complete pass through, never to be seen again. The doe sure taste good though.

Oh, I also use a lime green nock.

I have been using one orange with two black for several years now (orange nock) but since I have been having a hard time finding the orange nocks that I normally use I have started fletching some yellow and black ones to replace them.

3 pink w/ white nock.

I'd love to have a reflective fletching added for easier finding in the dark w/ a flashlight. (my buddies idea.) Anyone seen reflective fletchings around?

Two fluorescent orange and one yellow with a fluorescent green nock.
And yes they do make glow in the dark fletching and also nocks with lights in them.

I had the same problem, my arrows blended in real well with their suroundings and I lost a few during practice and in the woods [:@] also had a hard time seeing shot placement. BUT NOW all three of my vanes are chatruse and so is my nock, and I didn't loose a arrow since. and talk about being able to see shot placement . I thought all that brite green might blow my cover at first, but I been checked out by both bucks & does and they hav'nt reacted any different as far as I could tell so I'am sticking with them [:-].
