Can I still dress them up or don't take them out!

Stop chuckling! I needed some new arrows so I went out on the limb. First time using wraps and the only yellow available was fluorescent so I went for it. Didn't realize how long wraps are or the intensity of the color. Arrow Masters, what would you do? All valid suggestions and jokes welcome

I think those are beautiful. My arrow set up is the same exact wraps, only all 3 of my feathers are the exact same color as the wrap. Chartuese is, in my opinion, the best arrow color for tracking your trajectory, and training your brain.
Shoot them!

Shoot them fearlessly! If you don't like the way they look, then you don't hafta worry about losing them. After you shoot them some, you may find that you like the added visibility and the bright coloring will make them easier to find if you miss.

I like 'em, but if you want shorter wraps, check out Onestringer. They have just about any color I can think of and will make them whatever length you like. I usually order mine extra long, 9", because I like them that way. I think the standard length is 7". I also get the Double Dog clear over-wraps - really tough.
They made me up a Viet Nam service medal wrap that I really like too.

I think they look great Huronarcher. From rabbits to moose they will get the job done. (Although you may want to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the TECHNOGLOW hazard and be carefull they may trigger the military defense radar) otherwise they should be fine.

Nothing wrong with those, I recently went with bright pink fletching so as to be able to see the arrows in the target....

I just made up some fluor green and hot pink arrows. Nothing wrong with bright colors ( as long as YOU like them). Shoot them and enjoy them.

I think they look great... You did say these are your 1st set of wraps, be aware that they will stiffen the spine of your arrow a little.

My best shooting has come from arrows I was trying to lose.

Florescent colors are pretty much all I use for caps-yellow, pink, orange-except for turkey-I use bright fletching as well. Bright colors are much easier to follow to the target and through the woods as they run off.

I have my 3d carbons and alum. With the same wrap. I also found Gateway feathers to match and my nocks match. I find this combo easy to see in target and easier to see on the desert floor if I miss.
