Do you use wraps or quick fletches?

[jagermeister]

I have never had a wrap peel off,unless I wanted it to..I find it easier to re-fletch using them.I also find it safer then taking a blade to my bare carbon shaft an taking a chance nicking or gouging it..Inconsistent weight?I use cheap plain cheap wraps(3 or 4$ a dz ebay) an have seen a variance of .3grains in these wraps at most..Im not going to worry about 3/10th of a grain..Add weight?Yeah that's obvious...I have no weight or FOC% issues with my arrows IMO..My 6inch wraps weigh 8.4grains on avg..And I still maintain 14%FOC even with a lighted nock on the back end an a 100grains up front..The ONLY an I mean ONLY negative I can see to a wrap.Is if you had a arrow impact the rear of another shaft an it hairline cracked it,and the wrap hid the hairline crack ....Practice shafts vary in wrap an feather color.Right now its Flo Org wraps an 2in feathers orng with a chartreuse nock .Most likley my hunting shafts are going to be pink wraps,white 2in feathers an redish pink lighted nock...I also fletch all 3 feathers the same color..But that is another topic all together

Trying not to hijack this thread... But OMO, could you post or PM me your entire arrow setup. I'd love to know how in the hell you're maintaining 14% FOC with all that weight on the back and only 100 grains up front. With my flatlines at 29", I'm hovering around the 11% mark with 100 grains up front and only 3 blazers on the back.

I am right there using Rayzr feathers JB. Not quite 14% though. I also use a shorter wrap than most. Just a bit bigger than a Fob wrap.

That makes sense. I forgot how light those little Rayzrs are compared to Blazers. Plus OMO reminded me that my Flatlines have a microlite insert instead of a standard insert.

My arrow length is also shorter then both or yours,so that can contribute to a FOC variance...Also it seems different Makes and model shafts can vary on final FOC%, even if the same spine,length an the same components are used..Example: My Gold Tip Pro hunters only got just under 12% FOC with the exact same components as my current shafts..Sorry for the thread jack,I just wanted to throw that out there.
