Hello all. Recently hit a hog a bit high and spined it. The broadhead broke and the threaded part of it is still in the arrow insert. Problem is that I was using an Easton Axis w/ those HIT inserts that are down in the shaft. The arrow is fine (and not cheap), so if anyone out there knows of a trick to get that out of there, I am all ears... Thanks.
If you take your time, you can drill a pilot hole into the insert and use an EZ Out screw remover. Just make sure the pilot hole matches the size of the EZ Out. Works most times for me.

Like he said you can drill a small hole and use an EZ out screw remover.But also you could try drill it with a left-hand drill bit and it may come on out.And if that doesn't work,you'll have a hole for the EZ out.You can pick up a 5-pack of left-hand drill bits at most auto parts places.Remember put the drill in reverse with left-hand drill bits.
Tim,
Get yourself a .17 calibre cleaning rod or a 8 or 9" piece of brass rod that fits inside shaft. Put insert end of shaft in some boiling water for 5 mins and then tap out insert with cleaning rod. Or if using brass rod you take knock out and put brass rod in shaft and flic shaft fast from overhead towards floor and insert should tap out.
Thanks for the help fellas! I knew I could count on you guys!
