3gr/inch weight tubes--cut a 3-4" piece and glue it up front(inside of shaft)

RE: Arrow wraps to increase FOC
 

I appreciate the other suggestions, but I already know of many ways to increase tip weight. I was specifically wondering about arrow wraps, and their durability. On the surface, it seems like a quick, easy way to make small adjustments, thus my curiosity.

I would think you would wear them out fast. But I would get some cheep ones and try. Go to ebay and pick up some cheep ones. Let us know how it works.

I don't think they would hold up well at all. In fact I would think they would weld themselves to a 3D target and pull right off of your arrow. Stopping and arrow in foam or a bag for that matter causes a lot of heat to built up. The heat would melt the wraps and the glue that holds them on. JMO

I would reccomend finding another way to add weight.

Try one and let us know what happens!:)

I shot an arrow with a full length wrap for a while and it showed little wear from my bag target but it really didn't get shot alot.



If you practice in with a bag target you probably will be fine but if you have a 3-d or layered target,i would think it would wear them out quickly.


You may want to buy some decal material and make your own and they would be quickly and easily replaced for just pennies.I go to a sign maker and get mine.


I know you want alot of weight so look into the reflective decal material,the kind the police car decals are made of.It weighs 3 times as much as the regular and should be right up your alley.;)

The front end of a maxima is done by the same process that is done on a fully camouflaged arrow but they stopped at the CX arrow. Technically, it is a wrap but a lot tougher than the label type that people put on for display and not part of the arrow. It's also the same stuff that is put on the limbs or used on camo barrels of guns.I believe it is done by a dipping process. The film is floating in water and the arrows are dipped into the water and the film "glues" itself to the shaft. If you look at any of the camo arrows there is a seam running the length of the shaft. If you scape the camo you will get down to the standard black shaft.

A regular wrap probably wouldn't last too long and would get welded to the target. However, if you used the lubricating oiland a GT tip that flares out the wraps may survive for a while.
