Anyway. Now I have build my arrow puller that pulls from the "tip" of the arrow. It is made of a 4 mm steel rod with a 8-32 thread in the end. In the other end I have attached a handle (in this case from a spare set of cocking aids I had).
I have drilled out the nock insert's screw thread with a 4.2 mm drill and then the puller is inserted through the arrow and screwed into the screw thread in the insert that holds the point (you get 1-2 cm of thread).
The arrow puller & arrow
Halfway inserter
Inserted and locked in place
Attached in the insert (invisible shaft)
Principle
This makes you pull from the tip and don't risk pulling out the nock insert. You also reinforce the arrow and lowers the risk of bending it. I also get the feeling that the "force" is better applied in the tip as it seems to help with getting the arrow out of hard materials (but I guess you guys never miss
)I might have solved a problem that never existed, but in that case it is solved anway.
. This is what communities and forums are for, sharing ideas...
