how to remove field points MORE HELP NEEDED PLEASE!

<< < (3/4) > >>

woodsman1031:
I was able to heat them and remove the field points. The shaft is tapered. I am wanting to buy some of the glue on broadheads, but I am wondering if yall think the taper already cut on these shafts will be the same needed for glue on broadheads.

  If these will fit is there any pointers yall can give me on installing the broadheads?

Thanks

It's usually a standard taper that will fit both field points and glue-on broadheads. You'll want to glue the broadheads on with more hot melt glue. I'll let others here chime in on how to glue the broadheads on and get them aligned correctly as i haven't done that yet myself.

Pat B:
Any new heads, broadheads or field points, will have oil on them to prevent rusting. You will have to remove the oil from inside the socket on the point. I soak points in alcohol or acetone first to remove the oil then take them out and let the solvent evaporate. Then I add new hot melt glue to the taper, heat the Ferrel enough to melt the glue and fit the head on the taper. Twist the shaft into the point one direction as you set the point. When cooled I spin the point, broadheads and field points(stone and trades too) on my finger tip or on a callus on the palm of my hand to be sure it is true. If not, re-heat and reset and spin again until it spins true. Be sure your shafts are not crooked too. I doesn't matter to me what the point orientation is, horizontal or vertical,  as long as the arrow and point spin true.

first step is to relax
