Arrow Builders

Do you prefer to use arrow fetching raps or glue on ? Does it make that much difference? I have 2 dozen to do.
Thanks

I prefer as little weight in the back as possible. Vanes only for me.

Glue on, but I do crest some arrows with spray paint before hand.

If you're talking about the pre-fletch arrow wraps that you dip in hot water, I've got little experience with those. I bought some once and they had no helical or off-set. If I wanted an off-set, I had to add it myself before they dried. I couldn't get it consistent, so they all went into the garbage.

If I use wraps I get the reflective ones otherwise I wony use any unless the vanes aren't wanting to stick correctly. They do look a little better with wraps though.

I use Goldtip arrows 400gr. and 125gr. broadhead. I was told by the local shop I should wrap them ( hot water dip ones) vanes included. I have always fletch my own. Will the wraps effect the weight much?

I always white wrap mine before fletching, vanes stick better imho. If wraps mess up your arrow flight you have bad problems! Besides they look better once turned red

The hot water dips are , not durable at all. Order you some reflective wraps than fletch as normal, that is if you want wraps. With 125 up front it isnt going to affect a thing

Thank you for your help. I agree wraps look clean but I much rather fletch my own.

I have 75 grain inserts and use a reflective wrap on the back end so I can find them in the dark. Fly like, well straight as an arrow.

Thats the only way i will do it. Wrap and fletch my own, i dont trust anybody else! It feels good to build your arrows from scratch your self and then be able to shoot ten rings with em!!!

Thank you for confirming my gut feeling. Makes good sense to me.

Glue. I have used wraps under glue to make it easier to re-fletch but didn't love it. Wraps with vanes suck.

Yea I've decided to go with wraps and glue on my own vanes.

If you don't want to pay over a dollar apiece for wraps do yourself a favor and buy a roll of Oracle 651 off Amazon and make your own for pennies apiece.

Something to look at for sure. Thanks

I like a wrap and vanes. Less clean up when I booger up a vane too bad to salvage.
