I decided since it was time for new arrows that I would add a little character to them. So I ordered some reflective wraps for them.


The arrows will have white knocks with red balck and white blazer vains. Can't wait to get them finished.

Looks good! Probably a dumb question but how hard is it to put wraps on arrows? If it's just a sticker is there a method to getting it on there straight?

To be honest I let my local shop do it because I have to have the arrows cut anyway. But the method on the vendors sight doesn't look too bad.
wrap application

regular wraps are 17 dollars for 14 wraps or 22 for the reflective wraps if you choose custom wraps. I think it is like 14 if you buy some they already have designed. There maybe other companies that sell them cheaper. I just liked thier online designer and the reflective vinyl.

If you aren't interested in the cool graphics and just want a colored wrap, or reflective wrap, you can buy the same stuff for cheap, cheap at your local sign making shop. I stopped in one recently and he GAVE me 2 remnant rolls. One white one reflective blue. It's the same thing the wraps are made from, and exactly what the cheap wraps on ebay are unless they have graphics on them. Of course you could print graphics on the vinyl if you had the proper equipment.

I just went to my buddy's sign shop today to get him to cut me up 2 dozen of the reflective wraps. If any of you guys want em he will cut em on his machine what ever size you want. I get mine 1"x4" in white reflective that way I can see it in the day and night. You can really see it at night when you put the light to it.

Lay wrap, sticky side up, on mouse pad. Place arrow, without nock, right beside wrap and line up end of arrow with end of wrap. When it is aligned like you want it, roll arrow onto wrap just enough to contact the shaft all the way down the wrap. Once contacted to the length of the wrap, you can then just roll the arrow straight across the wrap and it will be straight. Then I run my thumb up and down the wrap with pressure to bond it well and get any air bubbles out.
