4years later and your video still helps, Thanks!

Good to see you treat your kitchen like I treat mine. Nice and clean, but always worthy of propane torches, channel locks and a pile of arrows! Good work brother!!

I was trying to find a way to change out my inserts, so I can install heavier ones, but I wasn’t sure how to do it without damaging the carbon. This looks about as simple as it gets. THANKYOU so much for sharing!! 👍

5 years later and still helps. Broke the insert when sighting in my new phase 4 and had to find a way to remove it without damaging my arrow.

Great info as usual. Google it and you came up again. You’ve given us so much valuable info.

Freaking awesome. Purchased about 15 maxima and 12 misc carbons and they have inserts but we’re cut full length. The shop here is out so now I can remove these and have them cut down. Thanks bro!!!!

Quick, precise and sound advice. Thanks a lot!

Thanks.Exactly what I was looking for. Well done !

thanks for the great vid man. needed to cut down arrows and this worked perfectly!

Use blue cap G orilla Gel glue fir inserts ..Use acetone or goof off to clean inserts before gluing . Lightly sand the inserts with light grit paper ... Put glue on 3/4 towards front of insert .. Easiler to get out if glue is not at end of insert..

Thanks a million! 🥳

Yea thanks for saving my carbon shaft yesterday. 🎉👍

thank you for this was able to reuse some good inserts from broken shafts

Thank you so much I really needed this

Smart, thank you!

Does this method work with removing Easton HIIT inserts installed with the epoxy they provide with their inserts ?

Great tip! Thanks so much mate!!👍🏻🤙🏼🏆

Use soldering iron with screw in the insert for soldering tip. Works a treat heats up fast and pulls right out no pliers.

Use Acetone and soak the tip if arrows in Jar ...heat even hot water will make carbon brittle... Then use rod in thru nock and tap our nit drill bit

This method does work, but you still need to be careful because you can damage your arrow if you overheat the field point

@Traditional Bowhunting And Wilderness Podcast do you use epoxy or hot melt glue? I do the same thing with epoxy. Years a go when first learning this technique I used to much heat and the carbon wrapping came out with the insert. So yes just enough heat to pull it out

I needed this

Can you remove nocks with aluminum collars from carbon arrows also…thinking Mission bolts or Excalibur quills?

But if it's super glued? I tried heating it but it got so hot even carbon got so hot but it won't come out.

So helpful. Thank you

You're the man

If I heat the glue in order to rotate my broadhead/insert to line up with the fletching will the glue reharden or should I remove the insert and reglue it?

I removed the nock and slid a drill bit in the shaft. You flick the arrow down and the drill bit works as a slide hammer and will release the insert

Will this work with AAE insert glue as well?

Debates on using Acetone to soak carbon arrow but GT says its ok will not harm carbon fibers ... Avoid using drill bit inside and swing it will crack the arrow .. Better idea is rod thru nock area just smaller than dia of arrow and lightly tap with hammer while holding arrow.. Drill bit will mushroom the soft brass inserts ane split sides of arrow ... Using no heat is best way I like Acetone then use rod and punch out ....

Great tip! What glue do you use to reset the heads?

Perfect!

Thank you

will you be able to reuse the arrow shaft? i bought some arrows but they are too long. i want to get them cut but also want to reuse the insert.

Awesome thanks

Also buy small dia rod that will go thru hole in the front insert and you can punch your Nocks out just insert and tap out will come your Nock ....

thanks brother!!

Will this work for if epoxy was used?

I assume it works the same for glue in points. Do I need to use a small round wire brush to get out any old glue before reinserting new points?

Just to be clear, it is super glue with the blue cap made by gorilla brand correct?

thx!

Nice kitchen

Just ruined a $15 arrow by doing this (except heating the field point outside of the arrow, installing it, and about 2-3 seconds later pulling out the point along with some carbon fiber). I’m not knocking this guy or the 12 other videos on KZfaq showing a variation of this method, but I’m just saying be sure of what you’re doing and be careful. (Might also be the way the CX Maxima Reds are constructed) (might also be my dumb ass but, for once, I don’t think that’s the case)

Can also buy a 8x32 screw and cut head off...Use soldering iron take our tip and put screw in.. Heat it fir 5 minutes screw it in arrow ... Insert should come out ... I use wet rag around insert to keep carbon arrow cooler ....

I am not c ommenting to say this is not good idea ,I did it fir years .. Any heat will ma ke a carbon arrow brittle ...... Even hot water .... Acetone and long rod inside almost dia of arrow tapped lightly with hammer is way I do it ... Do not use drill bit idea it will crack sides of arrow and mushroom the brass insert ...

tnx o7

Just ruined 2 arrows doing this. 🤨😐😒 splintered the end of shaft...
