I removed my regular inserts from 3 gold tip arrows and am going to put in the 100 grain brass inserts. I found if I took 5 peices of baleing wire 4 inches long,put them in the nock end and swing the arrow down fast in a safe direction it works like a slide hammer. All 3 times it just broke the little bit of glue that the bow shop put in it and I was able to just pull it out with the plyers. I see no damage to the inside of the shaft at all. Maybe this is old news but new to me. Hope this helps someone.
Works even better with a drill bit just big enough to fit shaft put non sharpened end up :thumbsup:
Great INFO Guys! Thanks! :thumbsup:
Jeez Gordon that would have been the easy way. I thought we did this trad stuff the hard way.
What has worked good for me is to use the drill bit in the shaft and whip it towards the floor,just like a slide hammer nocking the insert out.I'll put a wadded up blanket to catch the insert and drill bit.But I have had some used carbons where nothing would get them out short of just cutting the shaft shorter.It depends on what was used to install them.
put em in the freezer overnight-carbon won't contract but the al or brass will pops right out
