I would suggest not removing them w/ heat.
You may not see the seperation of the layers on the inside of the shaft, but it's there.
Remember carbon arrows are just layers of carbon glued together.The material used to fuse the layers together will break down the same as the epoxy.
It's pretty dangerous. I wouldn't try it.
I thought the same and not trying to change anyones mind. Just the shop I work at sometimes uses this method and I have done it to my own. Guess the good part is I remove them to cut the arrows shorter. However, I wouldn't see a reason why not to do it. Been times when an insert didn't seat all the way and had to be reglued. It works and I have shot a few of them myself with no problem. Again up to each individual but I will continue to do it.
