I see arrow wraps advertised and am just wondering what purpose or advantage they serve. Thanks for any info.

They are mainly for looks, but they do have some practical uses as well. The help vanes stick better and make finding your arrow a little easier. They are easier to see with those bright colors on the end.

Mostly though, they add a personalized touch to your arrows. They look really, really neat. Do you need them? No. But they are nice.

for looks ...and boy do they look cool

It helps you pick out your arrow from your competitors arrow at the range. They look cool too....

They are for looks but I think more importantly in a hunting scenario, you can see you shot placement much better. Thats whyI use them

I use reflective tape. much easier to find when I miss! [8D]

They also make it easier to replace fletchings. Tear it all off and rewrap and fletch. No scraping.

BullRider, I want to know what kind of wraps you are using. The kind I have used in the past were a pain to get off the shaft, all kinds of scraping rubbing trying to get all the adhesive off. Thats why I quit using them. Also that added weight to the back of the arrow doesnthelp at all for FOC.

The're for people who can't shoot good, but they sure do look good.

I use them for ONE reason. The ones I use are white and reflective. It's helped me in a tracking situation. My first deer......I stuck an arrow out of my quiver at theplace I saw my buck first arrowed (he ran out of my set with the arrow in his side). I then placed another arrow at the tree where I shot him......and another on the line I saw him leave.

When Lisa and I returned to begin our tracking job.....it was almost dark. It was helpful to be able to look down the line he'd been on in the DARK and see the reflective ends of my arrows.

They're not JUST for aesthetics.
