I've searched the forum and didn't find anything....
how do i remove a stone point from an arrow? I can cut the sinew; however, what about the glue I used to help hold the point in place?

What glue did you use? Is it reversible with heat?

i used that quick set stuff i use on fletching....i can remove a steel field point by heating it up....
are you suggesting that i would just heat the stone broadhead in the same way?

Try a hair dryer or boiling water. It might get it soft enough so you can take the glue off.

Whew...I thought you might be ask'in how to remove one like in Lonesome Dove...From o'le Gus McCray's leg or somethin'.
Glad it is only removing it from the arrow. Hair dryer or boiling water would be my choices.

just take a hacksaw blade and cut the shaft in where it is glued..probably only on one side and you can work it back and forth and it will pop off..if you can't heat it with hair dryer....don't put flame on stone point or it will probably break...gut

I would cut the shaft and submerge the whole thing in water for awhile. Leave enough shaft that you can still get a grip on it, but short enough for ease of submersion. Recutting the shaft will expose the engrain so even if the glue can take it, the wood won't and of course the stone won't care.
Like others mentioned, I would worry that heat could stress the stone.

Flesner,
What I would do is use climbing steps or ladder and a safety belt/harness to climb the tree, taking a hammer and a wood chisel up with me to get the head out of the tree without damaging it. Not that I have ever had to do that.

The broadhead used, regardless of how sharp, is nowhere as important as being able to place it in the correct spot.

Thanks for the advise Walt.
I was really kidding. That baby is 30 or 40 ft up there. No way am I going up after it!
I'll let someone find it in a hundred years and blame it on a Native American.

Always wondered when they pushed it all the way through, broke off the point and pulled the shaft back if they wre trying to help the guy or if they were just after the point.
