you could use a sharp knife just get the fletching off.then I use some acetone on a rag this will clean the glue right off but be carefull cause if there is writing on the arrows cause the acetone will take the writng off too.this works great for me also I use a bitzenburger fletching jig.the best there is! these will last a life time.they are made in michigan.I would suggest checking them out on ebay.cabelas probably has them but they retail for about 60.00.
