Title: Arrow and wrap questions
Post by: TaterHill Archer on June 07, 2011, 08:36:00 PM
A few years ago I bought some AD Trad kites for my 53lb @28" bow.  They never flew right.  Nothing I did to them made them work.  I heard later there was a quality control issue with a batch or two of them.  I have some AD Trads.  Can I use them out of bows in the 52-55 lb range?

Also what size wrap do most of you use on AD arrows?  I was told 1.25" by one company, but seems like that would have quite a bit of overlap on the wrap.  How much overlap is acceptable?

I shoot AD Trad Lites out of a 55#@27 HH with 175 gr. point at 29",they fly just great out of it.The wraps I use are 7"x 1",this widith and length works great if you use wraps with crested lines.The crested lines line up pretty close,because the 7" long doesn't go so far up the taper and the 1" widith overlaps enough.Solid color wraps you can use any length you want.I like to overlap about 1/8" myself,if you wanted longer wraps I would go with alittle wider wrap.This is my experience with AD's.
