just wondering what others have found to be the best colour of vanes when recovering an arrow/bolt in the field,
saw a review on BassPro where one guy was regretting buying bolts with white vanes, obviously no good if there's snow on the ground,
going to get some replacement bolts this week and the above got me thinking about what colour to pick
Hunter orange
Hot Pink.
Anything fluorescent.
I have 1/2 dozen fletched in white with white wraps and once the snow hits I've got 1/2 dozen with green flechings and green wraps
I much prefer the all white set up

White before the snow. Helps determine what what organs I've hit. After the snow flies, I use fluorescent yellow, same reason and easier to find in the snow.
With green nocturnals
I like yellow on my crossbow arrows & add lumenoks! Nothing like seeing your lumenok glowing on the forest floor after the shot!! :)
When I first got into archery I got all caught up in the hype and thought camo arrows looked really cooooooool... didnt take long in the field to realize aesthetics don't equal effectiveness.
Everyone so far has hit it on the nose, white arrows until snow hits, then orange or green.
Happy Hunting!
Hard to miss flo orange.

Vanes don t matters , this is a old pic with luminock now using Nockturnal and they awesome http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...4c5ee41b82.jpg
I love the idea of a lumenock but I like me arrows with an obscenely high FOC. Like 125gr head plus a 75 gr brass insert heavy. I'm pushing 30% FOC. I make up for it by shooting a stiff arrow. Reason being, I've never seen a tail heavy dart. My groups got way tighter when I went this route.
I just can't justify all that weight on the backside of my arrows.
An extra 10 grains in the back will not be detrimental to your setup. But I get where you're coming from.Quote:
