New Season Approaching: CustomMadeWrap Cuts Explained
As you prepare for the coming outdoor archery season, reviewing your equipment setup is standard practice. In addition to tuning your bow and checking your arrows, adding quality arrow wraps is a practical step. This supports consistency in performance and maintenance throughout the year.
Arrow wraps serve several important functions for modern archers. They provide a reliable surface for vane adhesion. Along with protecting the shaft from glue and abrasion. And help you easily identify arrows during practice and competition.
We are going to run through our products and give you a ‘CustomMadeWraps Explained’. Keep reading to find the best CustomMadeWrap for you!
CustomMadeWrap cuts explained
CustomMadeWraps produces arrow wraps in multiple cut styles. Each style is made to suit different build priorities and personal preferences. Below are the main types available:
Regular Cut
This is the standard wrap length and width designed for general use across a wide range of arrow shafts. It covers the section of the shaft where vanes are mounted. Along with providing a uniform surface for adhesive application. Regular cut wraps are a reliable choice for most target and field archery applications.
Ultralight Cut
Ultralight wraps feature reduced material compared to regular cut versions. They are thinner and lighter, minimising added weight at the rear of the arrow. For archers who are meticulous about weight distribution and balance. Ultralight wraps offer a practical way to keep mass low. While retaining the benefits of protective cover and adhesion surface.
Spin Elite Cut
Spin Elite wraps include guide lines or printed markers to assist in aligning spin vanes or traditional vanes correctly. These guides make fletching faster and more precise. Thus helping maintain consistency from arrow to arrow. Spin Elite is particularly useful for archers who use spin vanes. Or routinely change vanes between sessions.
Vortex Cut (Including 4-Fletch Vortex)
Vortex cut wraps are shaped specifically with spin vane configurations in mind. They accommodate the unique outline of vortex-style vanes. And support clean fletch application with minimal interference. A 4-Fletch Vortex option extends this support for arrows set up with four vanes. Thus offering a precise base for those configurations.
Wave Edge Cut
Wave Edge wraps feature a distinctive edge profile along the length of the wrap. This cut can assist with specific vane layouts or personal preference in how the wrap transitions to the bare shaft. Like the other wrap cuts, wave edge options preserve the protective and adhesive surface benefits of a standard wrap.
Shorty Cut
Shorty wraps are reduced in length compared with regular cut. Therefore covering only the essential section of the shaft behind the vanes. This cut is suitable for archers who prefer minimal coverage. But that still supports reliable vane adhesion and shaft protection.
Why Wrap Choice Matters
Choosing the correct wrap cut is part of a disciplined equipment routine. Different cuts alter how much weight is added to the arrow. How easily vanes can be applied. And how well the wraps integrate with specific vane styles used in your setup. Selecting the right cut can reduce installation time, support a repeatable fletching process. Also help ensure consistent arrow flight across a set of shafts.
Practical Considerations for the Season
-
Match wrap cut to your vane style. If you use spin vanes, choose a cut designed with guiding markers to make alignment straightforward.
-
Consider weight and balance. Lighter wraps can influence spine and dynamic balance, so test your setup if you change cut types mid-season.
-
Maintain your arrows. Wraps protect carbon shafts from direct glue contact and abrasion, making maintenance easier and reducing the risk of damage.
