Originally I think it started as dipping or cresting your arrows. Many in my area dip the backs of their arrow white. It does two things, it helps you find your arrow after the shot and you can see the blood on the arrow from your stand to see what sort hit you made on the deer. Assuming you got a pass through.

At least that is what everyone has told me that uses them. I personally don't mess with it.

I see no purpose for them at all for target or 3-D other than they look cool (to some).

BullRider, I want to know what kind of wraps you are using. The kind I have used in the past were a pain to get off the shaft, all kinds of scraping rubbing trying to get all the adhesive off. Thats why I quit using them. Also that added weight to the back of the arrow doesnthelp at all for FOC.
To make removal easier, heat them w/ a hair dryer or dunk them in some boiling water for 10 seconds...Peel right off, then use alcohol to remove the remaining glue residue.

I found removal easiest by use of a razor blade. I can remove a wrap in 1/4 the time with the razor versus a blow drier
