I've got this exact same problem. Ordered a dozen from an online store...I was able to screw in a field point in six arrows and the other six...forget about it! Tried several methods to try and get rid of the glue that was not cleaned up, but no dice. In hindsight, I should have ordered bare shafts and done everything myself.

Does anyone have a tip on getting the inserts out w/out hurting the arrow?

These are Gold Tips/Pro Hunter...thanks!
