I always use quality Bohning wraps and wipe them down with rubbing alcohol after applied to clean them and have never had a problem with them. Another good thing about wraps is when you need to refletch you can easily heat them up with a hair dryer and peel the wrap off then wipe the arrow shaft with rubbing alcohol to remove any adhesive. No more scrapping the carbon shaft with a knife and slowly scrapping off particles of carbon. Wraps are just better for your arrows IMO. Great video....Thanks for sharing.

Great video bro , also being a Pennsylvania boy I think it's a good idea . arrows are expensive if I can add color and brighten them up , there's less chance of loosing my arrows .

I've never personally wrapped. When you were talking about adding to the overall weight my mind went straight to, "what about FOC?" Good to see you addressed it. While I imagine a wrap's weight may be all but negligible sometimes that FOC percentage is just as important as overall weight. Good stuff.

Same here, I use long 6" wraps and 4 fletches. To counterbalance it I use a 20gr weight that screws in behind the insert. I'm excited for this upcoming Moose hunt this season. Follow me on Facebook Alaskan Hunters Of The North

Great video, totally answered my question today!

First year I’ve added wraps. I wanted a bright look to my arrow and the white did the trick. “Life is too short to shoot ugly arrows”. Forgot who said it, but I agree.

Very cool, thanks

Great point about FOC. The pro is if your foc is too high and you are target shooting you can bring it back to 8-10% this way. So the added weight on the back end can be both con and pro.

Can you wrap the front of the arrow? To add weight

just started using them last year.... wonder why it took me so long to get "smartened up" will never go without them...

Great video. You earned a like. However, the amount of weight added is dismal if you are using the same size fletching.

My early built arrows from many years ago uses wrap. But it makes me super paranoid when checking for safety each time the arrow had a bad side impact. The wrap is actually annoying because its difficult to get a visual confirmation on the damage underneath it. It really blows my confidence even though I repeatedly flex and twist it for fear it will blow up when I use it.

Good point. I didn’t thought of that.

What if I want to wrap my arrow more like in the middle or the front instead of the back like normally it’s use?... just think that could add a nice touch even if my arrows are already fletched.

I like a white wrap for hunting... Arrow goes through deer and you get blood on the white wrap. I use white vanes for the same reason. I mark the cock vane with a marker. I use a black "X" but you could use any color and make a dot or an X.

Just wondering can I use something like reflector tape?and what about vinyl wrap that go on vehicles 😊

@averagejackarchery

AmazonShroom Yes to both! I used to use just a small (1") of reflective wrap between my fletchings and nock and it worked super well to help find arrows after dark when hit with a light.

Lancaster Archery Supply sells a reflective arrow wrap...works extremely well...

How about just painting the shaft after fletching the arrow? Why would the glues stick better to the wrap than the carbon arrow?

What's the reason behind not wrapping your indoor arrows?

The main reason I use them is to get my FOC exactly where I want it. Using 125g broadheads without the wrap would have my FOC screwed up pretty bad.

I'm always a fan of Blazer's. But Bohning X vanes and Fusion vanes are also an excellent choice.

I was planning on doing a community archery tag game with these foam arrows I found on Alibaba, the arrow heads are really well designed (not like the ones I saw on aliexpress) however I’m worried about the cheaper carbon mixed material splintering and causing damage to hands. Would an arrow wrap be able to prevent splintering like that?

Question, I'd love to add 5 grains to my arrow weight ....and I already have a tail wrap and my FOC is currently a bit too low or about 9%. Can i put a 5 inch wrap towards the tip or in the front 50% of my arrow without issues? ....maybe not best practices but do you think it may work okay? I have 6mm Easton axis bloodlines. Thanks!

I use bloodline 330. Cut 28.5 with a 50 gr insert, 100 gr field point. Total weight is 424 gr. My balance point. From the field point up the shaft is like 11' 1/8. My arrows are like darts. At 60 yards shooting 2' to 4' groups . As far as % of foc . I don't what it is, but these arrows shoot better then my fmj 320 6mm.

This might be a stupid question but if your looking to put bright colors for easy visability couldn't you just put a little spray paint?

I shoot indoor barebow archery. And was thinking to apply wraps to my arrows. Not so much so i can place my vanes on them but instead to apply them after the vanes for aesthetics. Is that ok or is it that wraps are only made for the sake of putting on the vanes.
