I use a piece of red scotchbrite pad and some type of alcohol. Comes right off and you can hardly notice it was ever there.

Bergie, I was referring to the black arrows and not the ones with artificial wood patterns.

I use 0000 steel wool and wet it with a little acetone and the writing comes off on the wood grain GT shafts.

Leave it on this way you know what arrows you have.

I scrape with a relatively dull pocket knife. Works great.

Just curious why you guys remove the letters?

I did it once with acetone and scotchbrite pad. Came right off. Now I can’t remember what spine they are and don’t have a spine tester. I now leave the lettering on.

I made the same mistake Jim Keller did, I also leave them alone.

Acetone and an abrasive pad. I really dislike the GT logo so they are GONE on all my arrows. I can keep up with the spine via the cresting. Not rocket science.

I take off the lettering and mark the spine real tiny on the shaft. Just don't like the looks of them big letters in the bow quiver. Yep...I'm a geek. :)

You can use different colors for cresting and just put down what color represent what number. The Army use to do that.

The abrasive pad isn’t necessary, I’ve taken it off with just a towel or rag and some acetone.

Here's a set I just did, removing everything except the spine.

I do what Jim Keller did. Why? Because to me the arrow looks better without all the writing.

Keep shooting them without losing or breaking them. It eventually wears off. Years of practice! Good for your shooting.
I have a micrometer accurate to 0.000" or mm, the higher spines are slightly but measurably thicker.

My old Microflite don't have much writing, nor do the Easton aluminum. That said, it's nice to know what spine they are and I don't want to pecker around taking off the information, then putting back on somehow. I'm not that self conscious about what my arrows look like to other people I guess. I'm more concerned about where they hit when I shoot them.
