Have quite a few older easton firebolts -Having trouble removing inserts. nocks and luminoks - I've had them for years -- giving up longbow due to age (79 closer to 80) and cancer surgery - have lost most of my strength - expect lots of questions - have an Ibex and Equinox - just bought a used mag air
due to wht.

Wise man told me once, cut them off, nobody will know the difference. Good plan

If you can get one end off heat the other end in hot water then put the largest brill bit that will in the shaft for weight and rapidly swing the shaft to send the bit sliding down the shaft to knock out the offending insert.
Be sure to do this in a safe place so as not to break anything if the parts start flying.

Agreed, cut them or just buy new ones. Every time I removed one, I questioned the integrity of the shaft and that was enough to not use the arrows. There’s just too much energy between the broadhead and the string for my liking. I know that’s being picky but we all have our own personal limits.
Did Danny tell you that Paul?
