cap wraps and wooden shafts

[Slickhead]

I know taht they are frowed upon by many , but who uses them on wood?
I like the adhension that you get from glueing feathers on.
Melts the wrap slighly creating a stronger bond IMO

i agree they do provide great adhesion, but i just cant make myself use em on wood, eventhough i do use em on my aluminum's if i am going to crest my wood arrows its gonna be painted... dunno why really.. ..

I've used them twice, but with a draw length of 29.5 inches, I feel they aren't long enough to be aesthetically pleasing to me, so back to dipping.

Woodies are made for crown dipping and putting your own personal crest on. Just my opinion...like wearing sneakers with a Tuxedo at your daughters wedding....   :eek:

Krylon and Rustoleum make some good wraps.  I never seem to have adhesion problems using Duco over paint.

Lazy me feels that arrows are just like ammo... Shoot 'em, break 'em and loose 'em! So I use wraps...   :p   ... I also buy pre-finished shafts ... Whatever...    

Then I can see if you build a wooden arrow from the ground up, dipping and cresting is the way to go... Lots of time involved... It's all good.

It will give the "traditionalist" a heart attack but they work well and look fine.

Do what you want, I can't crest at all, if you ever saw my handwriting you would agree I have no art skill.

I do like making and shooting wood arrows and I don't like them plain.

I have used them--once!  If you tear a feather up or need to refletch it's harder to do in my experience.  Maybe I just can't see wraps on wood.  Most of my arrows any more are pretty plain Jane--doesn't hurt as bad when I trash one like it does one I worked long and hard on to dip, crest, etc.

Im making some squirrel arrows
