Title: Clear Arrow Wraps
Post by: Rustic on March 01, 2012, 08:59:00 PM
I like the looks of a feather on a wooden shaft.
Are there any clear arrow wraps on the market? If not, any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Onestringer (at the top of this page) sells clear. I use em and they work great.

Why not just skip putting any stain on that section of the arrow and seal with your clear coat, then fletch like you normally would?  I guess I'm just not understanding the purpose of clear wraps on wood arrows.

I've never worked with wooden arrows before and I dont want to damage the shaft when its time to replace the feathers. JMHO

I've used clear wraps on Beman, GT and CE woodgrain arrows before. They do look good, but the main reason is refletching. I use superglue to fletch with, and if you have ever tried to scrape it off a carbon shaft, it totally sucks!  :banghead:  
All my wraps, clear and colors come from onestringer.

Heck, by the time it's ready to refletch, you will be bored with those and ready to make a new set.  Just make 6 at a time.

I Agree with Mike! Making them is 3/4 of the Fun of Shooting Woodies!!

I use them sometimes on carbon for ease of refletching. I have never used them on wood
