I used duco on my tradgang wraps and it worked great.    
  I shot a deer and the feathered end stayed inside the deer.    I took the arrow out and the feathers are still attatched firmly

Duco is not recomended for wraps. That is a first that I have hear that the duco worked well on wraps. Jim, What did you do different when you fletched them?

I'm using fletch tape on my wrapped shafts. Works great.

Adam - the cooperhead wraps look great !

I use fletch tape on my wraps (granted they aren't store bought, but avery and 3m plotter vinyl bought of an auction site) and then run a bead of duco down the side as insurance.  haven't had any problems and these arrows have probably 1000+ shots through them.


these were them brand new...but they look about the same (except for feather wear) now.

I use Duco on mine with no problems.  Hold up fine on my target/stumpers as well as my hunting arrows.  I believe I got the wraps from 3 Rivers.  They are the white / black tiger striped wraps.

Suggest trying a couple and if they peel use a different glue.  Like I said I use it on my target arrows which have been shot a great deal.

thanks guys, figure I can try one arrow and see.. 'preciate it..

adam.   I did nothing to them.   After I stained the wood arrow I place the wrap on them and clear coat from the point up to the start of the wrap.   I do not put clear coat over the wrap.   The Duco worked great for me.   No Kidding.  I have made a dozen of them with your wraps and use 6 for hunting and 6 for target.   Idunno>???
