Sexy...Kind of.
My new wraps, that is.
While walking through the store yesterday, I was struck with a halfway intelligent idea. I had just passed the fishing lures and came across something that I thought was pretty neat.   Reflective fishing lure tape. Wraps normally go for $14.99 per dozen. I made 18 1"x7" wraps for $3.87. Shine a flashlight on these bad boys after dark and you'll go blind. Well... You'll be able to find them pretty quick, anyway. Just thought I'd share the idea. ;) |

Not what I was expecting[:@]

RE: Sexy...Kind of.
Thats a pretty darn good idea...and cheaper then wraps!

Maybe a dumb question......but have you thought about what sunlight might do to these?
Just wondering. |
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
Jeff,
As far as what? Reflecting and spooking animals? I'm pretty sure that as long as I'm not waiving my quiver around in the tree I should be safe. Worst case scenario I'll cover it with an extra shirt. We can't use lumenoks here, so I was looking for something to aid in arrow recovery. |
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
I use reflective wraps that I know don't react adversely to sunlight (just flashlight at night). Just a thought.
Ihope these work out well for you. |
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
We'll see how it works out, Jeff.
For the price, it was worth trying out. We've actually got some glow in the dark lure tape too, so I may try that out as well. I just hate paying $14.99 for a dozen wraps! |
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
Cool idea, but I was thinking the same thing as Jeff as soon as I saw them. If you're moving (drawing, adjusting on the deer, etc.) the sun could reflect off your arrow and you're busted.
On another note, why are your Blazers so far away from the nock? I've never seen them set up like that before. |

You need to get a hold of onestringer in the classifieds. He has wraps for a lot less than $14.99 a dozen. Any color and design you need.(Except maybe reflective fishing lure tape.)

Pretty nifty idea there Danno.....It's been asked, but I gotta bring it up again.......Are those blazers really that far from the nock, or is it just looking that way in the photo??
|
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
Pretty ingenis but your thoughts of what's sexy needs working on :D
|
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
I think its just the picture, guys.
The Blazers are only a little over an inch away from my nocks. Its not something I can do anything about with the E-Z fletch. That's as close as they'll get. |
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
That's a great idea! How much do they weigh? Do they they weigh more than regular wraps? Do you think they will affect your arrow spine differently than regular wraps?
|
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
They weigh less than the wraps I was previously using. The material used for these is thinner.
The wrapsI was using weighed 11 grains, these weigh 8. |
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
Sweet! I think I will check these out. I like the idea of a high reflection.
|
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
You have to agree, A man willing to Think out of the Box will suceed in any management position. Good Job Dan I'm going to wallie world shortly to see if I can find some Reflective tape. If nothing else they will look cool under the lights at night while on the range.

RE: Sexy...Kind of.
good looking arrows wash! Let us know how they work in the field!
|
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
I used to go to a sign maker in town and just buy decal material in any color I wanted and even bought reflective tape and I was gettin 12" by 2' for $5.00.I can get alot of wrapswith that.The regular material was only $3.00 and the last timeI went in,he just gave me a couple feet.:D
I don't mess with the wraps much anymore.:eek: |
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
Just paint them white if you want them to be easier to find lol, or blaze orange, or hot pink, or neon yellow, or.........:D
|
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
I use white reflective tape from walmart. $1.97 in the automotive dept. They look good and really light up when hit with a flashlight.
|
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
I think it looks good Wash. Very unique.
|
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
Thats a great idea! Good stuff comes from thinking outside the old square circle.
|
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
very nice lookin. I like it!
|
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
Anyone ever try using some reflective wrap on the opposite end of the arrow.
Seems at times if the arrow breaks and the animal does not keep the front end inside the body itis often times much harder to find then the fletching end. Been my experience anyway. |
RE: Sexy...Kind of.
I personally haven't, but I've seen guys that have both ends of the arrow wrapped white....
