RE: How to get out insert
I have done it, I put a field point halfway in and heat the point till it will allow me to pull the insert out with a pair of pliers....Just dont over heat and always check your arrow afterwards.

You can also buy an insert tool. Looks like a screwdriver and threads into the insert. I screw it in all the way and heat to tool a couple of inches below the insert enough to warm the glue and pull out the insert. Make sure that you aren't in a room with a smoke detector, I woke my wife up one night doing that[:@]

Insert super glued into a carbon shaft. How do you get it out? Or can you?

RE: How to get out insert
I have tried the drill bit hammering method. I only tried it on two different brandarrows. It worked great on one of my arrows, but didn't work at all on the other one. The insert wouldn't budge at all on the second arrow. So I guess it might depend on the glue that is used. It worked great on the one arrow. I didn't see any damage or residual glue at all on the arrow. I would try this method first on one of your arrows and see if it works before heating the shaft.
