Arrow Wrap Removal...Its Easy as 1-2-3

[MoTribute]

I seen a post in the general archery forum the other day asking about how to go about removing wraps from an arrow. So I desided to post a few photos of some very easy step-by-step directions on removing arrow wraps.


Step 1. Remove you knock from the arrow. If you can't take them out dont worry about it.

Step 2. Run hot tap water into a sink and place the arrow(s), fletching side into the hot water. Let them soak in the hot water for about 15 minutes. (this is why I like to remove the knock, I feel it allows the hot water to heat the inside of the arrow to help with loosening up the glue on the wrap) Make sure you use some sort of heavy object to hold the arrows under the water.

Step 3. With your thumbnail, find the leading seam on the wrap and gently start pushing the seam away from the arrow.

Continue with this all the way to the end of the wrap.

Make sure you leave the fletching on this will give you some leverage on peeling the wrap completely off.

Now finish peeling the wrap off the arrow and you have a clean shaft ready to be refletched.

If you happen to notice some glue left on the arrow, just take a warm damp cloth and the glue from the wrap will easily wipe off.

Oh man.. this isn't good. When I cleaned out some of my pics on photobucket I must of deleted the pics of this arrow wrap removal process. My bad everyone. I'll take some new pics soon and repost them.

MoT just do them as attachments next time and they won't go away.

Sounds like good info. The blow dryer works, but can be a slow process.
