Homemade Reflective Wraps - Success
I made these arrow wraps from 3M Solas Reflective Tape[/b]. It’s available on the web at less than $2 per foot for use on life jackets etc. I can make 8 wraps per foot with the 2” Blazer Broadhead Vanes. I cut them to the appropriate size/shape, applied them to the arrow and put a tiny drop of glue on the corners of the tape. The vane epoxy does adhere well to the tape material. The first picture is without flash and the second picture with flash demonstrates the incredibly reflectivity of the material. A wrap-sized piece of this stuff is easily visible from a hundred of yards with a good flashlight. The tape has a square pattern that makes them sharp looking and acts as a guide when cutting the material. You can make these for a fraction of the cost of manufactured wraps and they will be very helpful when looking for an arrow or downed animal at night. I have been shooting them through a whisker bisquit with no ill effects on point-of-impact or accuracy.
