Easy

Remove the nock so that you can slide a drill bit into the back of the arrow shaft. Next, whip the arrow in a downward motion and let the centripetal(sp?) force smash the drill bit into the insert from behind. It might take a few "whacks" to knock it out, but it will. Oh yeah, make sure you do this in an area where the flying insert and drill bit have a safe place to fly because they will.

Yeah, what he said, but if those are the arrows you got from me----Good Luck

Yep, if the guy took a minute to clean the inside of the shaft with alcohol, and mixed the epoxy properly, you're gonna have tennis elbow before those inserts come out.

Yes, you can reuse them. Just soak them in a little acetone. good to go!:darkbeer:

What I do is take a little torch and heat up just a practice point (in a pair of pliers of course) then screw it into the insert and let it sit for a little while--then try turning the insert. Usually it will heat the glue or whatever is in there enough. The heat spreads fast on the aluminum and you don't want to get the carbon hot though.
