You shouldn't have a problem with wraps coming off when wet.

I use them for a lot of reasons;

They're easier to see in flight.

They help to find the arrow after the shot.

If the arrow doesn't pass through, its sometimes easier to spot a wrap sticking out of the side of a deer than it is to spot just the deer.

My Blazers adhere better to them than the bare shaft.

The look pretty slick.

Cresting was introduced way back when. Archers painted, crested, their arrows as a means of identification, since all arrows back then were cedar shafts.

I used them for three reasons

1.So I can see my arrow in flight
2.Blood shows nice on white cresting
3.Find my arrow after I shoot a deer.

They add "spine" to your arrows. If your shooting Quikspins, wraps balance out your arrows for a much "smoother" flight. I use wraps with 3.125" Quikspins and I group a baseball at 45 yds...

It makes itmuch easier to refletch arrows, when you remove the wrap the damaged fletch and the glue all come off together.
