Take an old knife (not serrated, i made that mistake) and scrape off as much fletching and glue as u can. Once u get it as clean as u can, take some accetone and whipe the shaft off. Dont use regular store alcohol because things like that have petroleum in them and leave behind some oil. Be careful when scraping carbons cause u can scrape the carbon layers off in some cases or if there camo shafts, u can take off the finish.

To be just a tiny bit picky. I would recomend against scraping the shaft. That works great with aluminum, at least those shafts with harder anodizing, but scraping can harm carbon.

I'm being picky, because technicaly, a scrape cut is one where the bevel is off the surface being cut, and the cutter isn't restricted as to how deply it may cut. What you want with a carbon shaft is to set the knife bevel flat against the shaft, and carefuly cut away the glue, so no nicks occur. Any nick that slightly nicks into a carbon arrow should be considered cause for it's disposal. so be careful.

I remove the fletchings with a tool called the Fletcher that i bought from the local bow shop and it works great. I have also used a dull knife before. To remove the glue i use denatured alcohol that you can get at most hardware stores. For glue thats very hard to remove i've used a little acetone but be careful not to rub to hard because thats strong stuff and it will remove just about anything.
