Buying wraps ?

dogslayer · 08-28-2006, 11:33 PM

I see that there are alot of different widths to chose from . Is this critical ? Can I buy the widest ones and have the pro-shop cut them down ? Or do I need to know the exact diamater of my arrow shaft ? My pro-shop charges $20 for a dozen ,, I can get the same thing online for $5 . Support your local buisness ,,,, untill they start gouging .

Does that $20 include installation? If so, that's about right.

How hard is it to put a wrap on?? It is super easy! I got two dozen from bowmanhunter.com for about $20 and I got to design my own. Here is a link that shows a pic of them...http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/tm.aspx?m=1664273

The guy that makes them is a super nice guy and they are very high quality for not a lot of money. I would highly recommend going this route! I am getting twice as many for the same price as your local pro shop is charging! Install time, not including fletching, literally takes twenty seconds!

I agree r33h, bowmanhunter.com is where I've purchased my last two dozen wraps. He has a large selection and they arrive fast. I ordered the white reflective wraps and they have already saved me two arrows. I lost two arrows in the high grass and looked for over 30 minutes for them while shooting. I went back out after dark with the flashlight and found both of them within 5 minutes. They have already paid for themselves.
