Default RE: Insert removal question

I read that thread, I have removed them several times but not like anyone said in that thread. I will put a field point in about halfway and heat the field point till the nock starts to move, "Dont use your hands" I always use a pair of pliers and hand held torch. The other guys have talked about damaging the shaft, I have never done that personally but I have always been real careful not to overheat. If you have already tried the other method with the drill bit and it worked, why wouldn't you do the rest of them that way, IMO you wont have any problems with the shaft that way. If your trying to not refletch your shafts either option will work.
