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.

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.
