Stripping old fletching before refletching

[Alpineelk]

I like to try to get all the glue and everything off but is sometimes kinda tough

Over the last few years I've started using wraps. Just stripped some arrows last weekend. I have a vane stripping tool that works really well. After peeling the wraps, I use alcohol to take any other residue off.

I generally use sharp knife and a steep angle to get the fletching off. Then I'll use a little duller knife running it back and forward to scrape off any excess glue or adhesive and wipe it with acetone on a rag after.
