yeah i agree i dont think you can get all the glue off without messing up and taking some wrap, or your wraps could just look ugly. I cut some thin strips of tape and wraped them around the wrap ahead of the fletching in a cresting pattern and cut the wrap inside and peeled it off so i have some of my wrap left in a crest look.

you can do a Debonder Adhesive Remover which it lets you easily remove old feathers without the aggrivation and damage caused by scraping them off.

“instinctive archery” is more like playing the violin. Without practice you may remember the mechanics, but you will not be a virtuoso.

Jesse I love it here. The is a shoot in Spring Valley this weekend but I will be out of town, and I think the snow will make it pretty hard to get around. Maybe we can meet up one of these days.

I will be gone this weekend also. In the Idaho forum there are details of a shoot in Cataldo. We should meet up for that.

Try boiling some water and placing the arrow, with the feathers and wrap in the boiling water. It should peal off easily after the treatment.

Tomh
Start using the fletch tape. The tape holds the feathers on really well yet, it is easy to remove the feathers when they need to be replaced without destroying the wrap.
