Arrow Removal for Compound Bows I sold.

** Many people who have purchased the 1/6 compound
bows from me have asked for a step by step on how I remove the permanent
arrows and make them usable. All you really need to do this is; a dremel
tool and your hands. I use some clips to hold things sometimes, but only
because I was taking pictures for you and needed a free hand.
So here it is with lots of pictures....(can't fit them all, had to delete some)


Step 1-B: Locate and position the arrow head housing unit like this. You should
be able to see the 4 arrow heads and how they sit.

Step 1-D : Turn it on it side, now in order to remove the arrows safely, we have to take some
of the pressure off the tips by bending the bow like this. The bow is a softer
plastic, so it won't break if you bend it slowly.

Step 1-F, 1-G, 1-H: Grab hold of an arrow and gently pull the tip out.
Once you remove the first few arrows, rinse and repeat
until all the arrows are out...lol

Step 1-I, 1-J, 1-k: Now that we have all the arrow heads out, locate the arrow shaft
connector towards the other end of the bow. Grab the hard plastic part,
wiggle back and forth and pull up and it will come apart easily(it's made to snap on and off).

Now that we have the unit off, we can cut the arrows out
of the hard plastic that they are fuse to(see markings)

Step 2-B, 2-C: use your Dremel or other cutting hand tool to seperate each arrow.

Step 2-D, 2-E, 2-F, 2-G: Once all the arrows are seperated, take one at a time, using the flat side of the cutting wheel, spin and shape the excess plastic off the arrow shafts until happy with the outcome. Rinse and repeat until all arrows are finished.

That pretty much does it, let me know if you have anymore questions.

Of course, if you want to remove the Arrow Head Housing unit off the bow as
well(most people do), then just take your dremel or other hand cutting tool,
cut the housing unit off and grind smooth the remaining part off the bow.
I found that is best to take off last. Because that doesn't snap back on, so
once you take it off, it's not going to go back on. Plus if you take it off first,
you might break off the arrow heads inside the housing unit, then you're screwed, trust me, I know .

I hope this helps.

Where can i get this bow from.

I posted the sales links on this forum a few days ago. They sold out in about 2 hours.
So you can't really get them anymore. They have not been in production
since 2000. It took 2 years for me to find 10 of them. You can try
searching the web. It's from a Mossey Oak Bow Hunter Figure made
by ERTL for Mossey Oak. You can still find the 8 inch versions, but
not the 1/6th. I looked today, didn't find anything, good luck though.

I have that set. I was able to grab one from ebay for 20$ and got the whole figure. Really is nice.

Man I need to go back to the store in our dying Mall and see if he still has that guy. Thanks for the Tips and info on the bow thats sweet.
 
I checked all of Bass Pro's inventory and we don't have any left at all. I even got with some of the supply chain folks that were involved with the project. BPS sold several of those for a few years, with a fisherman exclusive of Kevin Van Dam (Bass fisherman). The line was called Outdoor Sportsman.
There is also a Dale Earnhardt version (they did a Dale fisherman, bird-hunter, and bow-hunter). I think by the time the Dale figures came out, RC2 or Racing Champions might be the name brand on the box (I have a pheasant hunter coming, so I can update later).
The one I had was Bill Jordan, he had Realtree camo.
Then there was a generic Bow Hunter.
Cabellas had an exclusive "Ultimate" hunter set that had a rifle and bow, but I have never been able to snag one of those.
Not trying to hi-jack, but if you are looking for the bows, this gives you some other options to search for.
 
This is a great thread. I never thought of removing the arrows and it's always nice to share information.
 
Got the Dale Earnhardt today, and it says TEAM REALTREE on the box, as well as JOYRIDE STUDIOS and, as I suspected, RC2. It is still Outdoor Sportsman, but no Ertl Collectibles on the box. There was a Duck Hunter, Big Game Hunter (with the bow), and a Bass Fisherman.

I wonder if it's the exact same bow? If it is, you got a gold mine
on your hands...:D Order as many as you can and post them for
sale here, I'm sure they would sell out in no time :naughty
