I had some real old easton xx75's that had the barcode stickers on them. Basically I just ripped them off as bestI could but it left that sticky residue so I held them over the sink or outside works and sprayed the affected area with WD40 let it soak in for a little bit then rub it off.

If you want to take them off soak the arrow in cold soapy water for a couple of hours then use a scouring pad but dont press to hard otherwise you will scratch up the shaft.;)

why?
Well...I guess you can if you really want to;) But there is no need to.

If you want to just follow Kanga's instructions

I used Goo Gone Extreme. It's cheap and works quickly. Some people may advise against this because it may cause the carbon fiber to split/fray. Try it on one and if there is no problem, go for it. Just but it on a rag and rub for a few seconds. It's gone! To back this up, I took some pictures of my arrows, which are not frayed at all. They were Carbon Express Maxima 350 3D selects, which have a similar red logo. The Goo Gone Extreme did the trick. The only problem I had with the stuff was the smell, so I recommend that you do it outside. There will be no sticky residue. It may temporarily discolor them (slightly lighter), but that goes away after a month or so. You will notice that my arrows are completely black. Just don't miss. You will never find these until you get the lawn mower out. Haha!

I am having problems posting my pictures. That is what all the edits are for. You may just have to take my word for it.

Sorry, I took the pictures with my laptop and because it's a mac, there may be a compatibility issue.

Never mind. It just took a while for it to load. Here is the other one.

I dont recomend soaking carbons in WD40 or any oil for that matter, it may break down the material and make them weak. But i may be wrong.

The only thing you can't take off is mattress pad tags.....

C'mon, Russ. I was just agreeing with the guy! :D

I don't know why they'd put pink labels on hunting arrows anyway. It clashes so badly with those green and yellow vanes (he says in his best swishy, fashion designer impersonation voice [8D]).

i know man they so durn ugly
the little tag thing ruins the look completely
they should have made the arrows camo and just wrote there name in black like the easton fall stalker arrows

That WD40 reeks. Don't ever put that stuff on your arrows, or anything else that you don't want to stink.;)

I use a damp sponge with a little bit of comet and it worked great, no scratches. Fingernail polish remover also works. I just did a dozen last night to make a custom look to my arrows

If you take it off and then you get some different arrows and you take those markings off you could wind up using the wrong arrows. it doesn't hurt to leave it on.

This is the same thing I do to all my arrows. When I dip the arrows, I don't want anything on the arrows (including the manufacturers' label), I only want my cresting to be seen. The Goo Gone is perfect, I use the gel, and it comes off in seconds.

I'll probably be removing the label on a few dozen here soon, as I ordered some new arrow wraps with Predator camo on them from Onestringer, and I don't want half the label sticking out past the wraps; it's aesthetically not pleasing to me.

I don't dip them in the stuff. I spray it on a rag and wipe the logo and only the logo. But it does work very well. Glad you think so too.
