kraabel2003 Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Is it ok to heat up a carbon arrow to turn or take the insert out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimPic Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Re: heat carbon no--do not heat the carbon shaft directly.Put a fieldpoint point on then heat the point to remove the insert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Shooter Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Re: heat carbon Just heat a little at a time, use a set of pliers to keep trying to rotate the field tip every so often. If you heat up to fsat it'll ruin the arrow just like heat it directly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICK Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: heat carbon i would not heat the arrow at all ,it damages the carbon making it very weak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
struttinhoyt Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: heat carbon Hold up...... I have a surefire trick to taking out inserts...... take the nock out and slide a drill bit in the end where the nock goes "just a big enough bit to move real freely"..... then turn the arrow up and sling it down and with the momentum of the drill bit and the sudden stop itll take out the insert.... it may take 3 or so swings to take it completly out..... no damage done to the arrow what so ever... did about a half a dozen like this.......

Straight Shooter Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Re: heat carbon I still wouldn't recommend that either, it might work for that half a dozen but I've seen the weaving come out the end of a shaft after the insert has been pulled or knocked out. If it's just hot melt glue holding the insert that should work, but if it's epoxy holding the insert, nope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
