How do you get them out of a goldtip xt-hunter! Like if you want to put diffrent ones in ? Without ruining the arrow. Thanks
Put a field point on and heat it, hold your finger about 3/4" from the back of the insert, once it gets hot, pull the filed point and insert out - after a few you will have an idea of how long to heat it. I have no idea what it does to the shaft all I know is it works for me and have not had an issue yet. Make sure you pull straight out not rocking it.
Hey thanks!!
There is another method I use first is to remove the nock and get a drill bit that just fits inside of the shaft.And then whip the shaft towards the floor knocking out the insert from the backside.Wad up a blanket to catch the insert and bit when it comes flying out.Most of the time you can get them out without using any heat,which is what I prefer to do with carbon.But I have some that neither method worked without damaging the arrow shaft.
If yuo're going to use the heat method make sure you don't twist the insert, just pull straight out.
Okie dokie. I will try thanks...
I tried useing the drill bit method but those inserets do not budge! There has to be another way!!!!
I put a 250 gr field point in it and heat the end of the field point with a torch. Heat transfers to the insert and loosens the glue. Pull the insert out don't twist. Taken inserts out of a couple hundred arrows like that and haven't ever lost one. But you do have to be careful that you don't overheat and damage a shaft becuase it is possible. dino
Thanks! I'll try it when I gey ready to do it . :)
