It makes it much easier to see your arrow in the animal running away and like terry says you can gauge penetration better. I like the reflective ones for hunting, just a little light makes them glow in the dark and makes it a breeze finding your arrow at night.

I use them because they improve visibility of my shafts, are an easy way to personalize and customize arrows, and most importantly to me they make re-fletching as easy as it gets.  I prefer crested arrows but come time to re-flect a shaft, I'm always glad that I switched to stickers.

What Friend says X2. Nothing wrong with wraps, easier to put on than cresting but they only belong on carbon or aluminum. Painted cresting for wood .

I use them carbon and use different wraps to identify different arrow set ups for different bows.
