how much do the crest wraps effect arrow flight? i have always heard it stiffens them....and wouldnt the extra weight of them effect flight? just curious. thought about getting some for this seasons hunting arrows.
I cant imagine that a wrap would effect it to much. They weigh just a few grains. I bare shaft with the wrap on you can do that.
ok thanks for the advice. :)
bailer3,
Don't over look this factor. I have arrows that when I added wraps, they were way too stiff. I used paint, and they came back into line. Naturally it is not a factor until you get to the borderline area. This is why bareshafting is so important, put a heavy wrap on and get it close, then fletch them and have them hit the spot. I love the ease of wraps, but they are really heavy when compared to dips, or paints(if you thin them correctly), when I buy wraps I go to "Onestringer".
They have even made some traditional 11 1/2 wraps for me, good people, quality product.
thanks scott. will do!
I've been using reflective tape as my wraps for years...makes it REAL easy to see them in the dark!
I use my airbrush to paint on fades and such.
I agree, add your wrap and then bareshaft...seems to work for my crappy shooting! :)
Usally adding weight to the rear of arrows will stiffen the spine alittle,but wraps are usally 10-13 grs.I prefer to bare shaft with wraps if I'm using wraps to get as close as possible in tuning.Onestringer has some great looking traditional style wraps,my wrap supplier.
