Hardcore!

First of all congrat's to your wife on a great buck and bear season ,they look awsome ,look's like you got some work to keeping up with her .
I use wrap's because I can just peel them off and clean the shaft with goo gone and alchohol ,re wrap and re fletch ,i find it make's thing's much easier this way. I also like the wrap's because it give's me a chance to find my arrow's in case of a miss and i see the arrow better after the shot .But I also really like nthe custom wrap's for show .make's them look real awsome .

Thanks!! Can one ever keep up with a woman? Just like fishing, they always catch the biggest fish.

I, STARTED USING THEM LAST YEAR AND LOVE THE LOOK THAT IT GIVES MY ARROWS. AS WE ALL KNOW IT HELPS SHOW FLIGHT OF THE ARROW AND MAKES IT EASIER TO FIND. ONE REAL NEAT THING IS ON A PASS THROUGH IT SHOWS THE BUBBLES IN THE BLOOD WELL. I CUSTOM MAKE MY OWN AND SELL SOME TO MY FRIENDS. 1 DOZEN CUT ANY LENGTH AND HAVE MOST SOLD COLORS $ 8.00 PER DOZEN. THESE ALSO WORK GREAT ON THE ENDS OF FISHING POLES.
GOOD HUNTING.

I still dip mine in paint and crest my own--i just like doing it that way

Stoner! :D:D:D

The fumes from Fletch Laq are why I use wraps now.

It keeps me happy:DI use Krylon or Rustoleum for the cap and Testor's for the cresting.Fumes aren't too bad

And here's some cedars I made up

JimPiC, those are works of art; too nice to shoot. I really like the deer hide as a background for the photos. Buckeyebuckhunter, more decor for your basement walls.:D

I wrap mine for now...I'm beginning the process of learning how to dip and crest though. That'll be the end of the wraps.

RE: How many put wraps on your hunting arrows?

I started from the get-go using wraps on my hunting arrows. I use refective white.....and to be honest....the reason I use it...is so it's easy to locate the arrow in an evening situation (shoot at low light). When I shot my 9/30 buck.....I climbed down....took an arrow from my quiver.....stuck it at the base of the tree.......went to where I'd shot the buck.....stuck another arrow in the ground and went home. When I returned....it was dark....and my wife and I could shine a light and get our bearings on where the shot came from....where the deer was standing.....and begin our trail (The buck had left my set with my arrow sticking out of his side a little bit). When I found blood....we got the arrow from the tree I'd shot the deer from.....and stuck it in the ground. Now....we had a line of reference. When we found the broken arrow the deer had dislodged.....we stuck it in the ground. Now we had a GREAT reference (the fletching ends GLOW when a light is shined on them). It aided in tracking a LOT.

I've heard people tout being able to see the impact point better. I shot 5 deer with them, this year.....and I really discount this theory. The only way i think this works is if you don't get a pass-thru.....it would be easier to see a more multi-colored fletching/wrap. If you're seeing your fletchings/wraps in flight.....something's wrong!

I just started doing a few. I went with the Blazer black & white zebra pattern with white blazer vanes. I must admit, they turned out pretty good for my first !
