I want to put a new point on my arrow. What is the best way to take off the old one and install the new?

I cut my points off at the end of the point with a hand saw. Then take a 5/16 or smaller drill bit and drill out the inside of the furrle of the point. Once there isn't anymore fiberglass inside the point, I use 2 part epoxy to put the point back on. Or if you are changing the point out, just epoxy the new point on.

I 2 part epoxy mine and also put a pin in them. Just get a heavy guage wire, drill a hole through shaft sideways. Cut the wire so it just slightly sticks out of both sides of the arrow. By slightly I mean a few hairs. Place the bottom of the pin on something metal and solid and then tap the top of the pin with a small hammer. It should knurl the ends of the pin. I usually two part epoxy the pin in also before knurling.

But to actually address your question, just cut them off and sacrifice the inch or so and then drill the fiberglass out of the tip. Shouldn't be a problem.

I do the same

Depending on the epoxy holding them I usually heat them slowly till the tip pulls off. Clean the arrow with a light sanding & you are good to put a new tip on. Been doing it this way for 15 years.

yep. I walk outside, fire up the grill without the grate on one side and slowly turn...... too much heat will ruin it so there is a fine line.
