I noticed that a few places have started selling heat shrink tubing as an alternative to wraps. When they came pre fletched I can sort of understand the price premium but now that they have gone as far as selling the tubing at a premium I thought I would post this for the money conscious among us.
Instead of nearly ?10 a set buy AAA battery heat shrink tubing from a well known auction site which is available in a few decent colours. I imported 5 separate colours as 5m rolls for ?1.45 each delivered, the only thing you need to do is cut to length.
It works brilliantly on standard size arrows, shrinking to leave no creases whatsoever. I've made a set up with it and I will be using R,W & B bands to denote arrow order. What I love about it is there's no nasty residue when you need to replace, just slit it with a knife and pull off.
Here's a current listing should you wish to look:
Colorful AAA Battery Sleeve PVC Heat Shrink Tubing Wrap Width 17mm Dia Φ10.8mm
