I put a field tip in, heat it, attach a vise grip, stand on the vise grip and pull sharply on the bolt. Usually works but it is a pain to remove them.
If the thrill of the hunt is lost, then I have lost.

Shoot them into a Block target, remove arrow. The method seems to work for a lot of forum members. However, they are usually complaining about the event. Go figure.
I'd rather wear out than rust out.

I use a 2" 8-32 screw clamped in a vise. Heat the end of the screw with a lighter then thread the arrow onto the screw and give it a few seconds for the glue to loosen then pull and twist the arrow loose. I have also encountered a few that would not come loose but most will.

I've used a heat gun, slowly heat the insert or a tip screwed in. But it's iffy.
Too much can ruin the carbon shaft, not enough & some of the carbon unwinds and comes out with the insert, also ruins shaft.
