    With the season gone, I am ready to start shooting some targets and getting set up to chase turkeys. For me, that means refletching my arrows (Three of my feathered arrows are stained with blood :) ). My arrows look a mess, so it's time to spruce them up.

    Show me some ideas, or tell my your favorite combo. I know it seems mute, but I like my arrows to look good :D

    Here is something I have done before, just to get the ball rollin'

    well i don't have any pics, but i will only shoot white feathers for the rest of my hunting career. the cock feather can be barred, and sometimes a color. but i found a few years ago that i could follow white feathers all the way to my target. i've shot alot of different colors and combination's but for now on it's white for me

    Here are mine from this year! I'll be switching to either all pink or blue. I do a lot of small game hunting and when the leaves are falling, everything in the woods are the same color, including my arrows! LOL!

    I usually Fletch my arrows with some pretty loud colors, but I have some Turkey arrows fletched black & brown. I just figured for turkeys the duller the better.

    I've heard Greg/MO say this....and I agree. Hard to argue against natural barred feathers. Nature's camo.

    I'll likely fletch mine up all natural barred for birds.

    I'm really liking the looks of the longer length, shield cut feathers. I think that may be the route I choose.
