    Funny you guys are talking about these wraps, Tim Wells from relentless pursuit, I think, had some on his arrows other day at a 3d shoot. Saw on fb.

    Getting a bit concerned. Been over 24 hours and it has yet to be scanned in by FedEx. Still stating infromation has been sent to FedEx and a shipping label has been created.

    I’ve had packages delivered and the tracking still says printing label. Could just be a glitch in the computer system.

    I'm not sweating it yet, but if it is yet to be picked up it will not get here Tuesday. Free shipping so I can't *****, and season is still 60+ days out.

    Really want to get it to see if my shoulder will like it. If so, will be selling my crossbow, will be nice to put a little of the money back in the bank.

    Feels so good to shoot again!!! Got Miss Liberty dialed in, out to 40 yards!

    Question though, I'm noticing some a$$ end left and right swaying of the arrow in flight. I assume that means the rest needs to go left or right, correct? (Sorry, it's been awhile)

    Take her to the paper swampy. Bare shaft first and adjust until you are rocking bullet holes son!

    Take the field point out, nock the arrow, slowly draw back. If the arrow comes off of the rest while you’re drawing, you have nock pinch. If you’re running a whisker biscuit, then I’m not sure bc you won’t be able to see it come off of the rest.

    Guess I'll have to! I've never done this on my own, always brought it to a shop to do it. I'll have to look on YT for some DIY paper holders

    do you have a ladder? Ive seen people have paper in between the steps and use that to hold it in place.

    It's not bad man. And you will be all kinds of proud when you finish and can assist others. I built a quick rig and use newspaper cuz it's cheap and plentiful. Remember start very close and move back only after it's a tight hole. I do 1 yrd 3yrd 10yrds.
    Get a good back drop so you don't lose one and although you don't need to aim I always try to shoot quadrant to elongate the use of paper

    Sweet! Great idea, Thanks Adam!

    I have a 24" hurricane bag. I'll elevate it and use the step ladder idea. Gonna have to wait till tomorrow afternoon though! Thanks for all the help boys!!
