Yes, JC, Elizabethtown is only about 5 miles from me. Maybe we can hook up sometime.

Charlie, I do the same thing you do with the paper towels and all except I used denatured alcohol. I got the shaft to "squeak" in no time. But if you all think acetone may be better, then I will have to get me some of that. I will not prep the wraps next time.

Thanks to all.

JC, I sent you a pm with questions about Onestringer's wraps. I think I'm gonna order some. Heck, they're cheaper than the no-name ones I ordered last time!

I'm using thick/heavy reflective wraps 7 inches long and had no problems w/ my em on old alum arrows but, like you, I had problems w/ the wrap wanting to stick to itself on the skinnier arrows (Axis ST). You can just use fletch-tite on the wrap overlap area to make the wrap stick to itself (stop it from peeling up). Worked for me.

good luck
