I never use heat to straighten any arrows. Never saw the need. I just sight down the shaft and bend opposite till straight. Even on lam birch.

Get yourself a 1/2" pulley and roll them straight or use Gurus method under How TO section. Shawn

I do the same as Mr.Hedgeapple...........just find the bend,bend and hold in opposite position for a count of 10-15 then check for straightness.Normally only takes once,maybe twice.
