I am sure one of the fiddlers in the group has figured this out. ( -tis the season)
What how much mass weight does a 7 inch wrap add to and arrow vs a cap dip.
thanks

I forget!!!
But that is common at my age.
What I can tell you is that I did EFOC measurements carefully on a cap dipped arrow with 5" shield cut feathers.
Then I Checked a 10" wrap w/ 3" feathers...and the FOC DROPPED! Yup. The wrap added enough weight to the back that it LOWERED my foc even though I ADDED 20 gr. up front!!
That amazed me. Checked it 3x and then asked Dr. Ed Ashby and he confirmed a slight add in rear weight really detracts from EFOC. Fwiw.

Used to dip in laquer,first white then another color,then clear and found it would add about 30 grains for a 9" dip.
Wraps are around 10 grains each.

I love bow-nerds
Can't wait till I start having use for this!
But I've only shot for 11 months, so it'll take some time..

Depends on who makes the wrap.
The 7" long x 1" or 1-1/8" wide ones I get from Onestringer weigh 11-12 grains. I've gotten some over the counter ones that were surprisingly heavier.
Can't say how much dipping adds but I would bet it's quite a bit more.

Two dips of 9-inch cap (Bohning lacquer) added about 10-12 grains to my 11/32 shafts. Difference in weight between a dip and vinyl is pretty much a wash. Not enough to worry about. Though it's effect on FOC is real, it is negligible, less than 1/2%. Yep, I measured all these things.

I believe my 1"X8" wraps are 12 grs.

Wraps weigh in at about a grain a square inch.
