    Default What do arrow wraps do for the arrow?
    Are they just for looks or do they serve a function. If they have a function, is there a noticeable difference?

    and makes the arrow easier to find after the shot, but has no real funtional affect to the arrow.

    I don't like to use them, they also will conceal a cracked arrow.

    Cosmetic look.

    Never thought about the cracked arrow thing. Good point.

    They help a slighty weak spined arrow become more suitable, but most are using only for looks. They do slow the arrow a couple fps and make the arrow louder. I don't like wraps but I do dip mine for visual and spine purposes.

    They also allow you to see the color of the blood much better too. I like them for the simple fact I can find the arrow more easily. Plus you get to customize your arrow a little more.
