I'm wondering if there are better methods to remove fletching and clean up arrows before re-applying new feathers.  The last time I did this I simply scraped off the glue with a knife.

There is an interesting article in the new TBM about the use of shrink tubing to prepare the fletch area for refletching. Pretty clever.

Interesting. I'll go check the mail to see if my next issue arrived.

I forgot to mention - the arrows in question are made of ash.

Don't laugh at me for saying this but I did read somewhere that a potato peeler works well on carbons and aluminum shafts. I have not tried it yet. Waiting for the "Boss" to turn her head so I can borrow one of hers so I don't get hit when I take it. lol

I have gold tip carbon arrows and just stick them in a bottle with paint thinner, takes everything off.The first time I used a feather remover, meesed up the arrow.

Try fletching tape. Works great and very easy removal.
