Local Auto Parts store will have black shrink tubing, very inexpensive. It comes in various diameters. Put a piece on the arrow retainer and use a lighter to shrink it down. It will be tight and won't come off. Works great!

Also helps keep the arrow from slipping away from the string latches. Is a very good idea to have on.

Do you cover the whole retainer? Even the part that touches the arrow?

Just the part that touches the arrow; a piece about 1&1/2inches long is plenty
