Just wondering if my fletchings are too colorful for turkey hunting... what colors do you guys use while chasing thunder chickens?

Those are bright...  :lol:


I don't think the flash is helping either.

You may get away with it in a blind.

Never hunted turkey with a bow, but I use 3 white fletching for hunting deer.

I used two yellow and one orange in the blind this year and the birds never noticed them. They were always watching the decoys and didn't have a clue. If I was to build an arrow specifically for turkey hunting I would use two black and one olive drab and a lighted nock such as the Nockturnal in red. But the most important thing is not moving when they look in the direction of the blind. I would also wear a black sweatshirt, camo gloves and a face mask. Good luck this year! 
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!

In the blind, we use whatever color is tuned for the bow.  Out in the open, it's all dark colors.  FYI...get some luminocks and it won't matter what color your fletching are! :z-winnersmiley:  Luckily, or unluckily, I get to use a xbow now, thanks to a bumb left shoulder.  Sure do miss the virtical bow sometimes...

All white fletchings with a white wrap for me. Never had any problems.

Are you shooting a whisker biscuit? It looks like some of the vanes are getting warped.
