Epuller, thats a pretty neat idea. I've never thought of it before. Seems pretty obvious now. I'll have to remember that. As far as the fletching goes, I have a hard time believing a deer is gonna get spooked solely from the color of my fletchings.

Works for me. I just have a hard time with the different perspectives, and when it comes to distance forget it. I cannot shoot with sites. I have to adjust everything by instinct, measurements and distance are not my thing, I have tried.

Did you ever look up into the trees from ground level? What kinds of colors did you see? Yep, there were light and dark colors. Sky, black, gray, etc. That's why most camo's that we use are really stupid. No matter what they are all a big bolb of brown or gray or whatever a deer sees. Now throw in some light colors such as thet found in Preditor Fall Gray or ASAT and you got a different view of things. Same goes for fletching. White, yellow, chartreuse is just another hole in the leaves to let the skylight trhough.

Good point thats why you use a black jitter bug at night when your fishing. I still want my dark fletching.
