Holy smoke's guys!!!! I am amased that you have to worry about stuff like that....Actually the more I think about it,it doesn't surprise me that much. Its too bad a person cant just go out in the woods and not have to worry about some bone head slinging an arrow at you because he saw some white.[:@] Its people like that who ruin it for the rest of us..

If they are boing to shoot at something white moving through the woods then they are also going to shoot at something big and brown walking through the woods.

Idiots like this will shoot regardless of what color your fletchings are.

You wear all brown into the woods when you hunt? Just wondering

What kind of question is that deer hunter???What bugbull is saying is that if we could only weed out the idiots in the woods,then it would be alot safer place to be.

No but what I meant by that is that most all of the camo patterns tend to look like a big dark brown blob moving through the woods.

Hopefully if I am within bow range it would be obvious that I was a human and not a deer regardless of the color of clothes or fletchings.

I also like to wear a hunter orange hat when walking in the woods and take it off when I get set up in the tree. I don't worry about it one bit either way in the elk woods though. Not nearly enough hunters around to worry about in the back country.

Will have all the things necessary for your dipping and cresting if you like. There is very little difference between the weight of dipped and crested arrows and arrows that have been wrapped. Also like someone else mentioned...it won't affect your arrow at the ranges we usually shoot a bow and arrow.

I dip and crest my own. Not that I think they're any better, it just gives me something to do this time of year instead of watching it snow.

I grew up gun hunting in VA, and without question we never took anything white into the woods...not a white hanky, and not even white socks. It's a sad fact that there are people out there who do not belong in the woods. Wearing brown or camo, you probably wouldn't even catch their eye, unless at close range, white though (as most of us know) catches your eye when you are deer hunting. I'd like to think that with the closer ranges involved with bowhunting, it wouldn't be the case and I do have white cock vanes on all my arrows to enhance following arrow flight. I haven't gotten shot yet.....but it is something that crosses my mind when I'm walking to my stand. I just don't trust people (especially on public land).

Boy this went way off topic....Anywho is there a difference in the paint from Bohning or some cheap flat spray paint. I have been wanting to paint my some of my arrows all white for a while now.
