what width arrow wrap for AD shaft
« on: April 10, 2010, 12:32:00 AM »
I am going to order arrow wraps from onestringer. I have not used wraps before.  When I was going to order the wrap it had options for you to chose the width you wanted. What width should I order for my AD trad lites? Also what length wraps are most common?
Thanks

What I used on my AD's was a 7" x 1",with this size if you buy a traditional style wrap with cresting.The cresting lines were closer together,just alittle off near the end.With longer wrap they went to far up the taper of the arrow shaft making them alittle more off.But if you want solid color I would get the 1&1/8" wide because you will be going further up the taper and you could use any length you wanted like 8",9".This has been my experience with wrapping my AD's.

OD Dia. X Pi will give you the wrap min....  

Example 5/16 is .3125 X Pi (3.1415) = .981

Give yourself some over wrap.

We use the 7x 1 1/4" and they work fine, length wouldnt be an issue ( your choice).

missed the 2nd part....

I like 9-10 inch length hi-viz wraps so I can see how much penetration I get if I for some reason don't pass through.  I can compare quickly the length of the black shaft in front of the wrap to gauge how deep I got.

The normal result is I see aprox 10 inches of black, and then there's 10 inches of wrap...that means I got aprox 9 inches of shaft and the length of the bhead inside the animal.  

It also gives me a quick 2nd reference as to location of entrance....and time to wait before trailing.
