I'm going to pick up some new ones this week I've been debating between pink or white. Either going all white or 2 white 1 pink. I may even go back to 3" vanes. I like them just because I don't shoot lighted nocks and I think they make it easier to find your arrow.

2white and a black blazers is my favorite, but lately I've been buying pre fletched so either there's (2) green and white or 2 red and a white

Here's a few I've done. Used to run feathers but in recent years switched to all white vanes with reflective white wraps. Last year I ran white and pink with white reflective wraps.

Been using 2 orange/1 yellow blazers in straight orientation. I don’t really like pre-fletched if I can avoid it but the last pack I bought had 2 green/1 white and they were at a 3 degree offset, so I cut the fletching off and re-fletched with my orange/yellow combo. I would use an orange wrap if it didn’t mess with my FOC, but I might experiment with a heavier broadhead if I try the wrap next season.

Last couple of years I have switched out to mostly hot pink with one white vane for a blood indicator. It is the easiest color I have found to find on the forest floor and it shows up well for me in flight. I also keep a small ultraviolet flashlight in my truck in case I am having a hard time finding an arrow. The UV flashlight makes any fluorescent color glow like its reflective. For deer hunting I normally use Nocturnals as well but don't use them for pronghorn as I don't want the added 25 grains of weight to the back of my arrows.

Where the skys are so blue!
If I'm fletching my own, I go all blue, and use the nub on my knock to identify correct knocking position.

Blue is the rarest naturally-occurring color in the woods. That's why (down here, at least) surveyors use it so often. A smidge of blue in the leaf litter stands out absurdly well. Red, yellow, white, green, orange, and black all occur with regularity, and make finding lost arrows a drag.

All that being said, I hate fletching, and usually go with whatever's on the clearanced box of arrows I end up buying.

Green is easiest to follow imo without going to a lighted nock and usually easy to spot on the forest floor after a shot. One white to see blood and make it easier to find. I've been thinking for years I should do wraps but they seem a little too deluxe for me.

Finding the arrow is the single most important factor in determining where an arrow hit and making initial blood trail decisions.

Two hot pink, one bright blue. Everyone makes fun of me, but they stand out like a sore thumb in a sea of green, brown, orange, and yellow. No lighted knocks necessary...
