I recently got 6 new Beman Camo Hunter arrows. They are, as the name suggests, all Camo. Being a rank beginner and having already lost a GOLD Easton xxx75 I am not thrilled about trying to find one of the Bemans in the woods behind my backstop. I have seen posts on the "Other Archery Website" about cresting an arrow with paint but wondered if I could add about 6 to 8 inches of white Shrink Tubing in front of the fletchings to add some visibility to the arrows. I am unsure if or how lacquer affects carbon arrows. The Shrink Tubing is available in many colors but I thought white would be my best choice. I thought it would be easy to remove when I was ready to re-fletch and don't believe it is heavy enough to affect the arrow flight, though I would have to do a "Crested vs. Uncrested" comparrison to be sure.

Any comments or ideas?

go for it. it's cheap and you can always remove them. let us know how it does.

Look into "pathfinder arrow wraps" in the Archery stuff for sale section of this site he has alot of cool wraps and can even coustom make wraps for $10.00 to your door.

The only thing I would wonder about is that when shrink tubing shrinks, it gets thicker. I would wonder, depending on the type of rest you use, if you might have a slight clearance issue.

I've used Pathfinders (JCMorgan) and he makes a nice product at a fair price.
Plus, you can literally get them printed any way you like with pretty much any design. Check out his thread in the Classifieds, he has a ton of samples.

any good pro shop cna paint or wrap your arrows cheaply. I would be afraid that shrink wrap would be to heavy on the back end causeing poor flight. I had my arrow wrapped at hinton archery im murray they did a great job. most people have switched to dipping the arrows. I would go with white or blaze orange.

Hey Duck - Do you remember how much they charged you to wrap and fletch the arrows?
