Well, I just put these on 6 arrows. I read as much as I could about them and some said they slip on the shaft. To increase the area on the shaft for the shrink tube to grab, I did not clean all of the old fletching off. I ran a razor blade down them and left just a bit as some people online suggested. I dunked them in boiling water and they are drying now. Super easy and they don't feel like they are going to slip at all. Now I have to find time to fire them.
Anyone else have any input on these?

I was thinking about getting some a couple months ago...but....the guy at the shop I go to said that he had a friend who used them and weight each arrow only to find that they each weighed different weights. They varied from 5or 6 grains to over 20 grains different. He thaught that water was getting trapped under the tubing???? If you have a scale, weigh them each and let us know what you find.

Cool! Love your new method of communication. :chuckle:

I used them on a dozen and a half arrows shot daily over several months before and after the season. Shot them into, thru, over and under targets and only one of the wraps came loose. I made the mistake of shooting a three arrow group at 40 yards and one arrow hit the wrap and made a little cut and it came loose and slid around. The other 17 arrows are just like new and still going strong. I thought I would try them, but ended up using and really liking them.

I use them on my arrows when I ruin my blazers. They work great and are a quick solution to getting back shooting for me. I don't fletch my own yet so boiling some water is much easier then taking them into the bow shop. I have had great success with their durability, I don't shoot groups to often any more so I have not had any trouble with them tearing and they have not had any wear from pass through shots with a couple of my targets. They do shoot slightly higher then my blazers....

I've hed pretty good luck with them staying put and shooting well.
