Jodyslilbro Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 I have a carbon arrow and I tried taking a box cutting knife with a nich in it for fletchings but the fletching just won't come off. I think if I push it too hard, a fiber on the arrow might break. What should I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest wildotter Posted July 6, 2007 Report Share Posted July 6, 2007 You can purchase a fletching remover from Bass Pro or Cabelas that is designed for this, or what I do is use a pocket knife to remove them. The pocket knife won't be as sharp as a box cutter, so the likelyhood of getting into the carbon fibers isn't quite as high. Fletch remover - option #1 Fletch remover - option #2 Fletch remover - option #3 Good luck whichever way you decide to go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowJoe Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I will usually use an old peeling knife and just lightly wedge it up under the nose of the vane or chip off the excess glue on the tip and they pull the rest off by hand or just run the knife up and down the remaining vane until I get all of the color off. Then I apply some acetone to clean it and lightly scrape any remaining glue off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 I use this, works great. Plus the duller it gets the better! http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/pod/horizontal-pod.jsp?id=0026144&navCount=1&parentId=cat20063&masterpathid=&navAction=push&cmCat=search-cat20063&parentType=index&indexId=cat20063&rid= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYCoYoTe Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Might I getting rid of the problem?? I heard of a new product called the Starrflight Fob for arrows. It replaces the fletch altogether and is said to have more accuracy.Its not too expensive and i hav heard great reports on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 http://www.starrflight.com/ Hmmmmmmmmmm, wonder how my Whisker Biscuit would handle that thing! LMBO!!!!!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYCoYoTe Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I dont know wut ype of rest you would need but it seems it would handle any of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bownarow Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 I just use an old razor blade out of a utility knife. I had to be careful when I first started using it b/c it was too sharp. Once it got good and dull though, it works great, and I can really go to town stripping some arrows! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrAzYCoYoTe Posted July 12, 2007 Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Oh and the arrow rest cannot be a whisker biscuit style oh well swap your rest style. If its that important. Bcuz it is more accurate especially in cross-wind sitiuations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jodyslilbro Posted July 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2007 Thanks for the tips guys. I tried the utility knife with the nitch in it but ended up ripping a fiber. Maybe I was rubbing it too hard. Oh well the nitch was already there because my brother made it to strip fletchings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gator Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share Posted July 13, 2007 I used to use a stripping tool with replaceable blades, one day I tried a razor knife, now I will never use that stripping tool again. Want it? Think I have 2-3 blades for it. If interested, PM me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
