not to get off carbon arrows,i had a little test i did today..
i bent 1 arrow pulling it out of my feed bag..
it wobbled badly..

so, i came in and tried the spitfire on another arrow,arrow spun like top..

i then heated the insert and tried to get wobble out, it did not work..

so, i took the 2216 and eyed it and bent it by hand in direction it looked a little bent,seems bend is near insert..

i then reheated the insert and moved it..

i got the arow about 80% good with a little wobble..

i thought, hey sproule,lets see if that bent arrow will shoot same or close to the perfect arrow..

well, i was surprised, both arrows at 20 yds shot almost in same hole,over and over..

so, i think bent arrow ,if not bent to bad and has a little wobble at point,will still shoot fine,at least up to 20 yds...

anyone have a little trick you would want to shareon how or if you can get your aluminum arrow straight again?

I do alot of experimenting and testing on xbows. 20 yds is meaningless. I'm very convinced you can shoot the front half of a two piece pool cue at 20 yds. The little buggaboos and gremlins start to come out at 30 and march proud in full force at 40 yds. i have no tricks or advice on aluminums, as I shoot carbon GT LII's from Miller. They are either good or gone. I hit a poker chip size target this weekend at 50 yds w/ Phoenix and that arrow 1st attempt at any range past 30 yds. Ask Smoke, he watched it happen. So, I have my bow of choice, my arrow of choice and my b-head of choice. Spent lots of time and $ coming to these conclusions, they are yours for free, lol.
