How do you guys prefer to straighten wood arrows that are finished. I like to use the tool that ace archery makes to straighten shafts before I cap crest and dip them but hate to use it on a finished arrow due to fear it will marr the finish. So how do you experts do it?

I use a screwdriver and strike opposite to the bending.

I hand straighten them and have used the Ace Roller Straightener with no problem with marring the finish. Just be careful not to use too much pressure when going over your cresting with it.

Ace Roller Straight for me too guys. Never messed up an arrow with this tool. As a matter of fact I usually push too hard and bend the arrow too far and crook it the opposite way it was, Ughhhh ! It only takes a little pressure fellers ! Doesn't get much use these days though since switching to Surewood's Doug Fir. The so called "premium " cedars I bought before were junk compared to Surewoods. No more cedars for me unless they are bonafide ACME's made before I was born in the 60's. JMHO
