Easier to find your arrow after a shot and easier to see where you hit an animal.
How So?
By looking at the white of the wrap, you can easily determind the kind of blood, or if it wasnt a good hit, other body matter, that is on the arrow.
Is it covered in bright red blood, maybe with some lung material on it? If so, it means a good hit. Dark red blood...might meant you hit the deer in the liver. Green stuff, slimey looking wrap with a tinge of funky odor too it? Means that most likely you had a gut or stomach shot.
I used to use dipped arrows, then went to wraps. I doubt I will ever go back, especially since I now make my own arrows.
