Razor blade. Then clean off any residue with acetone or lacquer thinner. Clean the shaft with denatured alcohol and your ready to go.

I use a dull swiss army knife. The dull knife prevents damage to the carbon, and gets the wraps off easy enough. I usually cut a stripe down the length of the wrap between each fletching (3 cuts) and then peel each piece off. They come off good usually.

If you're affraid of dammaging your arrows use boiling water. Just let them soak in boiling water and after pulling them out they will be soft and can be peeled off. This can be a little time consuming but works. I did 9arrows last week. Another way is to soak them in Acetone. This works great with aluminum but great cauition should be observed when doing carbon shafts. You can leave a carbon in it for 5 min tops and the wrap should just whipe off. If you do this Remove the nocks!! They will desolve! This is what a lot of shops use to save time.
I love how they look but i cant stand taking them off, therefor i dont put them on
