White will show blood extremly well. Bright orange or green shows up well against the brown fall forest floor. I have just switched to white. I really like it.

Good morning to you too

Anywho.... most people here like white vanes. But in the snow that's useless. I like to use green and white on mine.

bait, im not 100% sure but grey wolf said I should have a 3-4degree offset. Its not much, but they arent straight down the shaft either

to much offset on mine and the vanes wouldnt set right, so I just installed them slightly off center

Tye,

The white vanes in the snow are only useless if you miss, other wise they should be red
