What are your favorite fletching colors. I shoot two orange and one white. What do you shoot.

I shoot all dark green vanes, flourescent green nock. I use the super 3-D nocks so I can feel the index point even in very low light. I use a hip quiver similar to Adams Arrow Holster and feel the dark vanes don't attract as much attention when I'm walking in the woods and they are moving quite a bit.

1 orange, 2 white, 4" vanes in a left helical for hunting.

For 3d, I usually take a magic marker to my nocks and use 3 brown 4" left helical vanes. Makes it much harder for others to aim for my arrow.

I use whatever colors I have. People made fun of me at the IBO qualifier last year because I had pink nocks. When I smoked there ars they wasn't laughing so loud. I like to use dark colors so that the game warden is less likely to see me in a tree.[8D] All the same color, no need for cock vane people.

Well the Pack should be able to punt well this year after burning a 3rd round pick on a punter. Two DB's, one DE, and a Punter out of 7 rounds of picks?? Not very good IMO.

Correction on the Packer draft...
2 DB's, 2 DT's, 1 punter and 1 center.
I use 2 brown and an orange for feathers. White shows too much with the slightest movement.

Two black and one orange with orange nocks. I was always fond of Halloween.....

...and this is a good combination for me in terms of blending in a little with the black and yet still making them easy to find with the orange nock and vane.
