Default RE: Arrow wraps?

They add a distinctive custom look to your arrows that many folks feel add more individual flavor to a hunters set-up. Another and very important use for a wrap is the fact that they could possibly allow you to ID the hit on your animal of tag=rget by allowing the shooter to follow the flight patch of the arrow. Also for me, by using White based wraps and fletching, it allows me to more easily ID the kind of blood I have on my arrows byproviding a much brighter background that a plain black carbon shaft. I love arrow wraps and look forward to using them with my rig every season.

They do this..... Besides, they make seeing the arrow easier.

How do you determine the size to use? (diameter and length)

If you use aluminum arrows, get the 1 1/4" variety, and the 1" for carbon. They typically come in 2 lengths, 7" and 4"......but a lot of guys will cut them to any length you want.

Hand painted looks 10 times cooler and it's a bit lighter. BUT, wraps are 200% quicker and simpler.
