How do you apply them on a shaft? Probably a dumb question because I know alot put them on all the time, but I guess thats means this would be the right place to ask...I just ordered a dozen but I have never seen any get put on before

How do you do it?

I got mine done at my bow shop for a few bucks, thats usally the safest way.

The easiest way to apply wraps is lay the wrap sticky side up on a computermouse pad. Line your shaft up to the edge of the wrap, and simply roll your arrow across the wrap. It is the recommended way, and they turn out perfect.
