Easton Axis inserts

[jayz]

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to remove Axis inserts after they have been glued using the glue easton supplies. Thanks

I found it very difficult to remove without shaft damage, got most out by heating field point installed with torch and pulling STRAIGHTIN LINE with the shaft, no twisting, messed up a few also.

If ya need to cut them cut them from the rear, and leave the inserts in place

[Scott Smith]

I second LazerRays method. It is way easier
to cut the nock end off.

I put mine in with hot melt.  Don't take much heat to get them out.  Jeff

I can't offer anything, other than good luck!

Someone mentioned a while back to use a drill bit the size of the inside of the shaft and swing the bit back and forth until it knocks out the insert?  Alan

this is the reason I am footing my axis shafts with a 2020

you can also refletch and turn the arrow around have a little nock weight 15 or so grns, they may even fly better if your on the edge of two stiff
I really like the axis and the fmj but the hit dealy leaves somthing to be desired

a couple of mine (befor footing) started to mushroom at the point base from hitting hard stuff

If you're shortening, just cut from nock end as mentioned.

If you want to go from an aluminum insert to a brass one, swap ends of the arrow and put the nock in your current aluminum insert end and put the brass insert up front.

I've never had luck getting insert out with Eastons glue. Period. Some have used hotmelt glue for inserts successfully, so if in doubt you may want to try that first in the future.

Aluminum can also be drilled pretty successfully (go SLOW)...as far as undoing 24hr epoxy...it's virtually impossible..

I use hot melt for this reason...like to have options initially.
