Getting a rubber blunt off

[John Krause]

Anyone have a good way to get a slip on black rubber blunt off a cedar arrow? It seems impossible w/o damaging the shaft.

Thanks for any ideas

If you can get a syringe needle down in it with some dish soap and water, squirt a little down there. They are a pain to remove. You will have to break the vacuum seal.

I always smear the shaft with string wax prior to pushing the blunt on. It still takes pliers to get them off but it's a lot easier.

2X with the really hot water .

1 pair of pliers + 1 bowl of Wheaties...
Eat the Wheaties, then take the shaft in your weak hand, grab the blunt with the pliers... And start pulling!!!!!

Yep hot water.

Right now you could set them in a window, and let the sun heat 'em up!

Hey John just shoot at a squirrel if you hit the tree then the arrow will snap and the rest is easy. If you miss problem goes away.

What macbow said. that's how I do it.

If the blunt is on a broken shaft just smash it with a hammer and take out the pieces.

If you want the shaft intact use the Hot water method.
