Arrow Wraps
#2
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.

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.

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!"
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.
