    They look nice! You'll have to be blind to lose one of them.

    Wow they are certainly bright! Looks good though, Ryan. Love the slogan on the wraps.

    I've been having a hell of a time trying to get my vanes to stick to my Onestringer wraps. Any recommendations on glue? I've used instant adhesives and Fletchtite Platinum with both NAP Quikspins and Blazers. No dice on any combo.

    Ryan....you have wonderful taste if I don't say so myself.

    I am going with the same color scheme on my Goldtip CAA's. The only difference, Flo. Orange pin nocks and plain ole Flo. Yellow wraps.

    I need to contact Onestringer again and update my order.

    Have you tried gently wiping the wrap with denatured alcohol before you fletch?

    Justin, I used Bohning's Quantum XT glue and have never had a problem with my blazers coming off. Haven't lost a single one. And I have shot them clear thru backstops and 3D targets. Tuff as nails.

    I like em Ryan!! I also use fletchings (feathers) that are bright. Kind of nice for watching the arrow disappear into the animal when you shoot!! That's a nice heavier set up for your compound, I like It!!:d

    Thanks guys. After going to a speed bow, I couldn't see my arrows at all. I figured a hair heavier & a LOT brighter would help.

    Justin,
    Since these are feathers I used fletch tape. And although not having tried it on the wraps, I normally use AAE fletch gel. On regular shafts you CAN'T pull off a vane.

    Hey Rybo....

    What kind of fletch tape are you using? I have a set of wraps and Rayzr feathers to put on some Gold Tip CAA's soon....I was gonna pick up some fletching tape for the feathers and didn't know any one particular brand over the other.
