Arrow length reduction

Post by portalto »

Want to reduce my 18" diablos to 16.5" so I can install some inserts and use my 100 grain broadheads. I am concerned with arrow damage if I heat or impact insert for removal. I am shooting a 350 SE with FPS of 340 with 400 grain arrow. Can anyone tell me how this may affect accuracy. I have a dozen diablos and a lot of 100 grain broadheads from the past.
Thanks and God Bless

Put a field tip in a vise and heat it to cherry red, then screw your arrow on it and it will melt the glue without damaging the shaft.
