Onestringer wraps?

Post by Taylmatr »

Decided to try wraps this yr instead of lighted nocks due to the weight savings. My question is are they durable enough to use on my practice arrows too or should I just use them on my hunting and make sure they shoot same poi?

I use the same company's wraps on my compound arrows, but I of course don't get the same kind of penetration. But the wraps are good quality. I think you'd be ok.

I got the reflective wraps and have found that you have to be careful taking them off the protective backing and transferring to the arrow, or they will distort/stretch slightly

I just got the flo orange and flo pink to try out. Never used them before so I'm sure there will be a learning curve!

...I have been shooting Big Johns that are wrapped along with some wraps created by the Decal Guyz in NJ...I have found that they are fairly durable...Lets face it though they are a wrap...I would think that sooner or later there will be issues...and when those issues rear their ugly head and start to come off they will take the fletching with them. Not such a big deal since I now make my own arra's...

Curious what the Excalibur professors have to say....

BTW my wrap from Decal Guyz comes to 8.6g on a 6" wrap....I believe the lumenok is 28.? (from memory)....total weight w/ lumenok, 92g indexed insert and 100G Spitfire 415G...all the ones i made came out w/in .4 grain of each other....had to be a coincidence because I did it! :mrgreen:

I've been using Onestringer wraps for three years now...no issues. :D
I have them on my practice arra's & on my hunting ones. The only thing i see is the rail will wear a line in the wraps after a few shots but it's a non issue.

I use those wraps and like them too!

What do you mean instead of a lighted nock though. I don't find they help me see them in flight at all. But the white wraps I use made it easy to find (this week) the one I shot through a deer last year that burried in the snow.

If you are worried about durability, you can use a "double dogg" with them. ( its a clear thin overwrap that aids durability) They do seem to make the wraps much tougher.

It doesnt help much seeing it in flight but helps a lot locating your arrow afterwards (in low light of course), the reflective wraps light up with a flashlight from way off.

I'm just worried about finding the arrow afterwards. Seem to be a bit tricky to find when shot from groundlevel blinds at game.

That is the problem with shooting an Excalibur . We keep going through the deer and burying our arrows in the dirt . :D Even with lumenoks I have had to dig for arrows . I use wraps and lighted nocks . As previously said there will be slight wear marks on wrap .
