I like 5" shields or 5" traditional cut.  The color depends on what I am gonna do with them.  For stumpin' and practice I use bright colors like chartreuse and blue.  You know, colors that you don't find in the woods in case I miss.  For hunting I like to use green barred with a 1" chartreuse splice on the back of the cock feather for visibility in flight.  Have a good day, TMG.   :thumbsup:
I love animals!  They're delicious!

I really like the 5" pope and young/raptor cut for my recurves and 5.5" banana for my longbow. As for color I like a white cap with all white feathers and a white noc. At dusk I have trouble seeing anything other than white or yellow flying through the air. I thought red would be good but during autumn I have had trouble seeing those.
