Arrow wraps

[arrow30]

remove the whole wrap with the feathers and put a new wrap on, that way your not scraping gouges into your arrow. trying to remove glue.

That's what I'm saying.... How it that a benefit? If I have a vane fall off I can clean and set it in the jig and fix it. Having to replace a wrap and vanes sounds but as easy

Fletching is fun so if you get to do if more then it is more fun.

I like them for fletching and blood identification. I feel not much is needed to have blood show well, 2 " Blazers with 4" wraps.

What method are you using to remove the entire wrap?
I don't know what brand of wrap you are using but the ones that I have bought from 3 Rivers almost become part of the shaft once they are applied.
It's not an issue on aluminum shafts but on carbon, peeling or scraping them isnt really feasible.

Have any of you guys tried submerging them in boiling water in order to remove an entire wrap?

And how about fletch tape? Are fletch easier to remove from the wrap when applied with tape rather than glue?

White reflective wrap. White vanes.

Went this route 10+ years ago and found it works best for me. Many points listed above are correct (easier to find arrow both in flight and after the shot, yet have to refletch the entire arrow - wrap and vanes, if even one vane gets snagged or comes loose.).

Another aspect that is huge for me is finding my camp on elk hunting trips. May not apply to many here, but it is much easier to find my camp at night when returning from chores at night - filtering water from the stream or hanging the bear bag away from camp, for example. Just hang my bow about 5-6’ off the ground, go off to take care of things, and shine the headlamp lights up the wraps like crazy. Much better than stumbling around behind a tiny headlamp trying to find a tarp that is only about 30” off the ground and blends in like crazy amongst the aspens and underbrush. (A reflective paracord bear rope has also made it much easier to find that in the dark as well!)
