Really, Jeff. Just a suggestion for the next time you make an extravagant entrance... The sequinned jumpsuit is not required. [:-]

Good to hear from you again!

I've played with using a straightener and hair dryer on carbons, trying to straighten them out. My theory is that since the carbon fibers are suspended in a thermoset resin (carbon arrows are about 60% glue), then heating the resin should allow me to straighten the arrow. Unfortunately, I cannot say my experiments have been entirely successful.

And I do have some concern whether heat straightening carbons is a good idea even if it did work. It could be weakening the arrow and making it unsafe to shoot.

One of the conclusions I have arrived at. I would not leave carbon arrows in a hot car on a hot, sunny day, especially where they could wind up being in direct sunlight.
