I shoot gold tip Expedition Hunters and i tried to heat up theinserts and it split the carbon about an inch so i would say its not such a good idea after all. Thankfullly i tried it on an arrow that already had a crack in it. Im not sure whats going on with my bow it was tuned perfectly and shoot good groups out to 40 yards and then I blew the peep sight out and all things went to hell.
