Somehow my insert didn't go all the way in or it slid back up when installed so therefore my tips won't screw all the way in either, I usually can apply enough heat long enough to soften the glue and then push em in, but I have two that will not budge...anyone got any ideas or suggesstion??
I had it happen with 2 of mine. I used a small washer,(like what comes with a Slick Trick), and they worked just fine.
one of em is too far a washer to help, the other one it will likely work..I can't understand why the ol heat trick won't do it on these, I have done several times on others..
This has worked most (95%) of the times I have tried it: Find a drill bit that is very close to the exact inside diameter of your shaft. Then slide it into the shaft from the nock end after removing the nock. You also want to slide the smooth end of the bit in first, not the cutting end. Then, with the shaft approx level, swing it down so the drill bit hits the insert with some force. After 2-4 hits you should see some movement and then it gets easier. Sometimes I can then screw in my insert tool and twist/pull the insert out. Sometimes I have to keep hitting it with the drill bit. If you keep using the bit, when the insert is almost out you may want to swing it towards a towel or cloth pile because when it finally pops out form the force of the drill bit it will come out fast and ricochet off of the floor or whatever it hits. I always thoroughly inspect the insert after this type of removal and, if it is in good shape, clean it up and re-use it.
You can heat it and then try that again or you can put a field point in there and then grab the field point with some pliers and try twisting it after heating it some. The twisting may loosen it enough that you can pull it out or twist a bit and then try the drill bit again. I have had some stubborn ones but it seems once you get them moving a certain amount then they will come out.
Take an old brass sight pin screw it in to insert and heat the end of sight pin till you can pull it out.
I can't get it.. I 'll keep trying though.. Jeff the shop did the arrows with whatever came with the arrows..I don't know what it was.
Agree 100% but, most everyone, shops especially, are using some type of "super" glue. Another reason for folks to be self sufficient. You can control materials used and quality of craftsmanship.
