	TIP OF THE WEEK View this newsletter online  Arrow Wraps By Troy Fowler We all admire beautifully crested, handmade wood arrows. I have made and broken hundreds, if not thousands, of wood arrows in multiple states over the last couple of decades. Alas, my time was sucked away by a choice to have children, and my dip tubes and cresting tools were replaced with baby bottles and diapers. Maybe you can relate. If time is an issue for you, arrow wraps are a great alternative to cresting. At www.arrowrap.com you can design your own wraps, write whatever you want on them, even add artwork. The pricing is reasonable--my last order about a year ago was under $20 (with shipping) for 14 wraps.   Follow the manufacturer's directions, but here's a good tip: Place the wrap, sticky side up, on a piece of cardboard or a magazine, then roll the arrow shaft over it. The  surface is a little softer than a table or workbench, which keeps the air bubbles down by allowing the arrow to flex into the wrap. Total time to wrap a dozen arrows is 20 minutes or so. Arrow wraps are a great option if you've lost your dip tubes to other responsibilities. Troy Fowler writes about real, field tested, youth hunting and fishing solutions in his blog, Small Boy With Laugh Lines.       Comments from Readers   BBQ Corn:    Bill K. writes: Have done this for years, it is a fantastic manner to cook and eat corn. Those that have not done it, should.   Frank V. writes: This is a great tip. I'm going to try it. I really miss the Camp Chef articles that used to run in TBH. Thanks, Guy.   Whistling Pete Arrows:   Brad N. writes: I myself use ping pong balls, and do them the same way; however, I have noticed that you can vary the sound by adjusting the size of the holes on the sides. Just thought I would let you know that you don't need to use roll on deodorant for this project. I normally buy the ping pong balls in a package of 6 for $2.     Hunting With the Bow and Arrow:   Rick A. writes: Hunting With the Bow and Arrow by Saxton Pope is also available free through Kindle at Amazon.com.  I read it on my Android.
