92xj Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Pull a sting around your shaft and mark it with a pen. Lay string on table and measure. This will get you pretty much the exact width you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimPic Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I use 7"x1 3/8" wraps on everything from my 2018 aluminums to CX Heritage 150 carbons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 Better a little wider than not enough....I had a couple diff. sizes done once...1" is perfect for mine...under that was not enough overlap to stick well or no overlap at all and there was a small gap.

BowJoe Posted February 6, 2010 Report Share Posted February 6, 2010 I found that usually 31/32" or 15/16" is good. More than that and you have overlap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Pull a sting around your shaft and mark it with a pen. Lay string on table and measure. This will get you pretty much the exact width you need. This will work, but you need a slight overlap for the wrap to stick to itself. One inch works great on my shafts, Ill have about a 1/16th inch overlap. I found that usually 31/32" or 15/16" is good. More than that and you have overlap. Maybe for your shafts, some shafts have different diameters. Carbons are a lot smaller than aluminums, even some carbons shafts have different diameters.

Bob LeBlanc Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Circumference © = pi X diameter (D) pi = 3.1416 Check the specs on your arrow...find its OUTSIDE diameter...multiply by pi...that's its circumference. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Ask the Battledrum guy....tell him what arrows you have and what size would work on them....I get mine from Onestringer - Scott and Mindy know their stuff. I got a dozen once from Battledrum as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 One inch will be plenty for the FMJ's, if you just want to be safe, get the 1-1/8, but 1 inch will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
