See fletchings at impact....HONESTLY
Do you see your fletchings at impact with the animal?
I'm not trying to sway your honest answers.....but if your arrow is flying true......straight away from you......all you should see is the back of your nock and the slim profile of the back edge of you fletchings. Shouldn't be able to see your wrap, either.....because it would be behind your nock.
So......those of you who say you do.....how do you explain this?

RE: See fletchings at impact....HONESTLY
when I am in the yard I see every shot except the very close ones, the bow is too quick. On a deer I see more than half of the shots by the fletchings. If I don't see them, then typically I see the hole or tuft of fur. Then on some occasions I don't really know at all. I think a lot depends on lighting and bow speed. My bow isn't blazing, that's whyI think I see most except for the very closest shots.

I think that maybe at point of impact the arrow moves a little, so you can see fletching. I usually know where my arrow hits, but I honestly can't recall if I've seen the fletching. I know I've seen the lumnock, obviously, but I'm sure I've seen the fletching as well. Good Question.

I see mine. There is always some arch to the shot.
How do baseballbatters see the stitches on a pitched ball traveling at 100 mph? I have heard them say they can.
Concentration!

Yes, I can see mine! I could see them before with white wraps, blazers and luminoks. Switched over to orange wraps, blazers and luminoks and can see them even better, which is what I was looking for!
