Interestin comments...My interest was fer
stump shootin, which looks to be White on White. Fer huntin, will use natural barred feathers in a Bright Red color, and a natural barred cock feather, with a white stocking just long enough to highlight the fathers. Am interested in any other comments though, as I like to hear everyones opinions, pro or con!

For me, bright red is easier to spot than white.  I've lost red ones too, though.

Pat B posted some cool arrows that had white rabbit fur between the back of the fletching and the nock.  They're probably easier to track and locate than a conventional arrow.  (I need to make some of those, someday...)

If you are using plastic nocks, I've always been able to find the ones with flo. pink nocks. I have used about every color out there, and I always seem to spot those wherever they go.

I use self nocks...But the Redneck in me Ain't gonna use No Pink nothin...It ain't a option. Not even ifin ya call em Bubblegum. I'm sure they work well and there ain't nothin wrong with em. As long as they are on someone else's arrows. I'm funny like that. I wouldn't even use them there Bananna fletchins, till I heard someone call em HogBack fletchins. Thanks fer the input though.
