Buzzer, I don' t know what brand arrows you use, but I shoot Gold Tips, and I will tell you the way i do it that works great. I contacted Gold Tip about doing it and this is what they suggested . I use Acetone. Take a dull knife ( I use an old fillet knife) and cut off the fletching as far down to the shaft as you can, but do not dig into the shaft. It is ok if the base of the vane is still on the shaft. Take the nock out and then soak the shaft in the acetone to just above the vane. I use an old flower vase that allows me to soak 5 shafts at once. Let them soak about 15 minutes. Then take them out and wipe off the shaft real good with a rag with acetone on it. It usually be will be completely gone, but you may have to soak it a little longer if there is alot of glue on it. Then be sure to use warm water and a little soap to wash the shaft of the acetone. Be SURE to do this outside in a well ventilated area and wear rubber gloves ( I use the thin medical gloves). Another guy on another forum checked with Gold Tip also and they told him it was fine to soak their shafts. He contacted Beman and they said that they didn' t suggest it for theirs. So you might want to contact the maker of yours and ask them. I have been doing it this way for about 3 years now and have never had a problem. It is a very quick and easy way. Good luck.
