Title: Custom arrow wraps.... ?
Post by: Al Kidner on February 16, 2009, 12:31:00 AM
Hi all,

I'm just wanting to "jazz" up some GrizzlyStik carbons that I bought with some wraps before I put on some spliced fletchers.

So the $64 000 question: who here does custom wraps for carbons? I'm wanting to put my own length and crest on 'em is all... and I'm very fussy when it comes to arrows and cresting as some of you already know.


Many thanks,


ak.   :saywhat:

Al,

Onestinger, he can make what you want. Great wraps. I believe he is a sponser here. Check the "sponser" drop down box.

With the G-Stiks being tapered make sure you get tapered wraps.  AK Bowhunting sells wrap that are made for G-Stiks.

I learned from "southpawshooter" that if you start a reg. wrap in the middle and go one way, then the other they come out perfect on a tapered shaft.

Give it a try, I've done and it works    :thumbsup:

Yea I can hook you up,  thanks for the kind words guys.  

AK Bowhunting does not sell tapered wraps.  Theirs are a standard 1.25x7.

To get them straight on Grizzly sticks. Just line up the arrow wrap to the natural taper of the shaft.

I suggest getting a few extra wraps, it will take a couple of practice runs to get the cresting to line up.

I use Onestringers on all my arrows...and they are all Arrow Dynamics tapered shafts.

I ordered some from Battledrum custom wraps and was happy with the product and service. Not trying to steer you away from other brands but "options" is always nice!

The past few dozen I've done all I use is reflective tape.
I airbrush the cresting on top of the reflective tape.
It sure makes it easier to find them.
