Arrow Wraps
 

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

Check out www.bowmanhunter.com I have been using his wraps for a while and really like them. He's currently rebuilding his website, so not all of his wraps are shown. He makes literally thousands of different ones. If you want something custom, absolutely no problem at all. You can also do a search for him on ebay, he has some there he doesn't have on his site.

go on ebay i just got some and put them on some arrows for a friend of mine. lots of crazy designs the one i got for my friend was yellow and black swirl fade.

There is another member of this forum who makes great wraps. His user name is PA Hardwoods. His name is Chad. His web page is [email protected] Chad is really a great guy. A few years ago, one of my best hunting buddies and friend's wife was killed when she was hit broadside by a semi. She lest a 35 year old husband with a 4th grade daughter and 6th grade son behind. We were all deveastated. I wanted to do something special for him in her honor. I racked my brain trying to think of something bowhunting related and it finally came to me. I was gonna make him a special dozen arrows. I knew that I had saw someone on here who made arrow wraps. So I posted asking about it and Chad replied immediately. We talked by phone and he agreed to make them . I told him the color scheme that my buddy uses on his arrows, and he came up with 3 or 4 different wraps and e-mailed them to me. My wife and I picked the one that we liked. It was really cool. It was a white green fade with a pic of a deer head on it, with the writing My wife, her name, Forever in my Heart. Then I bought a doz. Gold Tip Realtree Hardwoods shafts and made them up. I prayed before I made them and asked God to let them be the best doz. that I had ever fletched up. He didn't let me down. They turned out perfectly. I went over one night and gave them to my buddy and his kids. Well, there were alot of tears that night. He said that he didn't think that he could shoot them. I Told him to do whatever he wanted, but to promise me that he would at least kill his next deer with one of them. That season, he and his son where hunting together is a buddy stand. His son shot his first deer, a decent little buck. He shot it pretty early, and watched it drop. So they kept hunting. About 5 minutes later a really nice big doe came in , so my buddy couldn't resist and took her. He said that it was so special to kill a deer with his son there right after he killed his first deer, with the special arrow. It all turned out great.
The cool thing is. Chad ( PA Hardwoods) went to all the trouble to do this for me. Then he sent me 2 doz. wraps of the special tribute wraps for my buddy, and made 2 doz. really cool wraps for me. The guy wouldn't take a dime for them. He did it all at no charge. That was so impressive to me. Chad is a great guy. He lives in Pennsylvania and I in Ohio. We said that we were gonna get together and hunt someday. Great guy. Check him out.
Sorry the post was so long. I guess I got to reliving that time.

I cut all my wrap off.They were white cant turkey hunt with that

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

either tuck your arrows where the turkeys cant see them or lay something camo on top of them

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

I think that is the coolest one I've seen so far. Very classy. When you have to refletch do you have to remove the wrap? Just out of curiosity why not spray paint them?

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

Thanks!! I think it's pretty classy myself. Sometimes I have to rewrap them if I need to replace a fletch, and that is the downside to the wraps. I build all of my own arrows, so my fletching jig is set a certain way allowing me to replace a damaged fletch exactly where it was. If I can pull the old one off cleanly enough, I don't change out the wrap. Besides, when the deer sees it coming he doesn't jump up and profess

"Hey! You can't shoot me with that redneck lookin thing!!You go back home and replace that wrap, I'll wait right here!":D

I actually did used to spray my arrows. But I ran into some troubles there and didn't particularly like the way they looked. The glue kept melting the paint off and you are pretty limited to the style. I mean, you either have a solid color or a fade from the top or bottom. I suppose you could get more fancy, but I would rather wrap them. As inexpensive as wraps are and as easy as they are to apply and replace, I'll stick with the wraps.

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

There are so many to choose from. You just gotta look and think what you want your arrows to look like when finished! [8D]

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

Mo, know what you are saying about rewrapping when have to change fletch. I do about 8 arrows, 4 for practice and 4 for hunting. Since my WB roughs up the feathers after months of practice and being shot tons of time, I take the ones from hunting and use them for practice, then take the practice ones and strip feathers, clean shaft, re-wrap, re-fletch, then I have a set of arrows for hunting next season. Of course, varify they fly like the others, and I am all set for another season! [8D]

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

Would it be ok to put on a wrap below the fletch, or does the wrap have to go from the nock down. The reason I ask is because I have some new arrows, but they are already fletched and I don't really want to strip the fletch off. Thanks for the info.

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

lte- He's not worried about the turkeys seeing the white fletching. You shouldn't display anything red, white, or blue when in the turkey woods. It might be an invitation to a load of #4 shot coming your way as these are the predominant colors of a Tom's head.

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

You could put a wrap on below the fletch, don't know how t would look though. Besides making the arrow look nice, it also makes it easier to refletch because when you ruin one vane, all you have to do is peel off the whole wrap and not have to deal with scraping off the glue. The down side to that is you have to replace all the vanes even if only one was damaged.

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

JLMOORE, I do the same, only the other way round. I use my scarred wraps for hunting and my good ones for target. That way I also get to show them off...:D

RIstrutstopper......it's not quite that easy, but it's not hard either. There is still some glue residue to remove, but a little soak in alcohol takes care of it.

I wouldn't put them on that low, they look goofy. Also puts more weight in the center of the arrow.

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

mobow, after a season of practice through the WB, I have to refletch anyway, so why not use them for hunting. Of course, something I learned in Germany was true respect for the game I pursue, call it a little quirk, but if I am gonna harvest a deer, turkey, or other, I want everything to be its best out of respect! [8D]

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

how did you design that wrap for it to be custom made.

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

It's not custom. It's a stock pattern for him. Just let him know what color fade and accent stripes you want.

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

go to [link]http://www.carolinafalls.com[/link] for cheap arrow wraps only bad thing is that they only sell solids

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

What if i want my arrow to fade from white at the top to green at the bottom how would i tell him i want to do that. like i can't draw it at all that is too hard. But i also want some stripes on it too.

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

PM sent, and you would just install the wrap with the green down. The way the wrap is made is the same. White to green or green to white, same wrap just invert it.

Looks good, not something I would use for myself, but looks great and original! Good job! [8D]

RE: Arrow Wraps
 

I put an order in with DJ at bowmanhunter arrow wraps last week. He is a great guy who will create anything you ask him to. He is doing some right now for me that are going to match up with the gold label on my gold tip pro hunters.
