coloring fletching?

I use a dark walnut wood stain(minwax) and a small paint brush. You can paint them to look like eagle feathers or give the illusion of having spliced feathers quite easily... dries quick and won't stiffen the feathers, also waterproofs the feathers... Just my two cents worth brother But worth a try.... Hawk a/ho

...or you could leave them as they are. ;D   I would have no problem shooting white feathers...especially if someone gave me the arrows.  ;)

Thanks, John, they are actually arrows on steroids - atlatl darts :D  About six feet long.  I just happened to have pics with the colored fletching.  The points are creosote, because it has a specific gravity over 1, and shafts are each a pair of scarfed arrowweeds.  The arrowweeds have checks splits all up and down the shafts, but it has not made a difference.  There is no reason they cannot be duplicated smaller.   ;)
