Arrow insert removal question

[hartofthethumb]

I use low temp hot melt in a lot of arrows, and if you knw for sure that is what was used, I will heat up my insert tool while keeping pulling pressure on it. As soon as the glue warms they will pop out without overly heating the arrow. If there is any question as to the glue used though, I would do as Rick suggests and not use heat.

Just my opinion...

It was definately goat tuff or similar. I had to wipe off the "excess" with my shirt. It was dripping.

Kind of a classic example of why I usually do all my own stuff now.

Me also.......I have my own saw and I put all wraps and vanes on myself. Putting in inserts and tips is the easiest part. You right to do it yourself.

I'll try it if the old rod trick don't work Texas. They are Axis NFused.

Awww HIT inserts....those are supposed to be installed with two part epoxy and the guy used GOAT TUFF??? What a knucklehead. Forget what I said about heating them up. Try the drill bit method. Next time you should do your arrows.

Drill bit will work done it more than once. May take a few good swings just make sure you put it in flat end first if not it will get jammed in the insert.

Just be careful with the drill bit/rod trick. It does work quiet well but if the arrow is whipped to hard you can mushroom the back of the insert and crack the end of the shaft. Been there - done that!
