Sorry Hey Steve I am sorry but I have not ever tried to staighten an arrow. But I have heard of guys who have and they seem to get along pretty well with it. I just don't know if I would ever have the patience for it I just take my bent arrows out and shoot crazy things with them. Keep us posted on your progress and maybe I will decide to give it a shot. I do like to play pinball alot with my arrowseace: Come on now people I am sure some of you have tried to staighten arrows before. Any ancient chinese secrets to it? Frank
