It depends on what glue was used to install them.

If it was hot melt, there is a real good chance that they can be reused. But if epoxy, goat tough or some others, it may be more trouble than...

RE: Ways to add weight at the business end....

Standard inserts that come with most arrows are 10 to 15 grains.

RE: Scraping Lip?

Check your bow's draw length. It is probably too long and you are having to turn your face toward the arrow and down in order to get a good anchor on the kisser.

RE: Restringing, anything new in materials

There is also 452X.This is much thinner than 450, but is also a low creep string.

Another good point for 452X is that it fuzzes less than 450.
