which feather colour? give me some ideas please!

[triffnix]

So i lost some arrows last weekend so i only have 1 left..

Time for a new set!

I ordered 400 easton nfused Axis with 75 grian insert.
Will do a 2 inch footing with a easton xx75 1916. And ill use 180 grain fieldtips/broadheads.

But i absolutley cant decide which feathercolours i should use.
itll be 4 inch parabol and ill fletch it helical.

So i would like some colour ideas from the greenscreen please. which colours would you do. in considering to try feathersplicing the first time..

So give me some ideas please!

What's your bow look like? I have mine done to go nicely with the bow.

Something that is highly visible when buried under the grass
Maybe crimson red with a gray barred cock feather. Purple looks good also when used with a gray barred cock.

I have used yellow and white for years and they are, I think, easier to see
in the weeds.

On my last set, I used red and black feathers with my usual red cap. So
far I haven't lost one, but I don't think they're as visible in the weeds or
in the target (occasionally)

I like barred white hens and a white cock feather.

Here's what I went to this year. They are "Manly Pink". Highly visible both in flight and in the weeds.

Those look cool

[BowBuddy]

I use Pink too!!!

I'm an advocate of visibility too, both for imprinting flight path and for finding in the weeds.

The fluorescent lime (chartreuse) shows up like a light in a black target in the shadows.

Both of those are really sharp. Are they wrapped or actually crested? What length and cut of feather did y'all use.

[cajuntec]

I like dipping / cresting my own in some high vis colors.

Trad Lites in Black and Red (The red is very visible on the ground), Gold Tip "Turkey Arrows" in barred Green / barred White (low visibility):



A few high vis that I did for a friend. First time splicing anything:



Some aluminum's I did for myself a long time ago:



Same ones, pre-first shot:

The white cap is dipped and the green and gold cresting is applied with a brush and a wobbly lathe. Feathers are 5.5" shield cut. I kinda like the Robin Hood whistle they make flying through the air.

Believe it or not, the sealed but unstained shafts show up sometimes too when the feathers are buried in the weeds (yet another option for higher visibility).

All the same color so if you have to turn arrow for tuning it don't matter. Barred feathers are the best looking.

[Fleeta]

I like all the same color- chartreuse with orange nock. They are not my favorite for looks but easy to find. Really show up when shot in low light.
