Vane color
Hi Folks.
Brand new to crossbows, just picked up the Micro Mag 340. I ordered some vanes recently. The pictures showed a light green vane, but they came with white. I don't think it'll make that much difference, but what color do you folks prefer for hunting.

Re: Vane color
It's mostly personal preference, but white will show blood, I like green so I use fluorescent green.

Nothing in Nature is PINK.
Vanes combined with pink wraps and bright Luminoks very much increase your odds of finding your arrows.

Re: Vane color
I prefer at least one white to determine blood type.

Re: Vane color
I just set a white one and one of the greens that came with the bow out in the woods, and to my eyes the green is much more easily noticed. I'm really not a fan of unannounced substitutions in my orders. I'm thinking of dropping the seller a note.
Re: Vane color
I like white!! But I would never use it to hunt in the snow. Here it is very rare that it snows. In contrast to the green and the fallen leaves it looks quite good.
Of course, if you went hunting on gay pride day you would drive the CSIs crazy.

Nog, I was thinking of inviting you to hunt pink unicorns in my lavender fields, but seeing your arrows, better not...IronNoggin wrote: ↑Sun Jan 15, 2023 2:41 pmNothing in Nature is PINK.

Re: Vane color
Excal has been shipping white and green alternatively for as long as I've known of them. It's not a substitution, they ship from factory that way.
Those vanes will likely get ripped up quick anyway. Everyone new to Excal shoots off their first set of arrow vanes. It's a right of passage. You will also Robin hood

Re: Vane color
The last order I had Boo construct had one white cock vane.
For that very reason.

Re: Vane color
I always liked one white to show blood then two blue just because you never see any in the bush blue so it helps finding them

Re: Vane color
Always have been a fan of one white , one pink and then whatever colour next for hunting .
When i shot 3-d it was all black vanes on X7 shafts . Nobody uses your arrow as a aiming mark then .

Re: Vane color
When I had Norman build my last batch, I had one vane that was fluorescent Yellow. Works well for me, shows blood and is easy to see. My others all have at least one white vane!!Doe Master wrote: ↑Mon Jan 16, 2023 7:04 amAlways have been a fan of one white , one pink and then whatever colour next for hunting .

But Matt...I must say, those "Pank" arras (as Paul would say), are quite colorful!!!
