Hi Raedwald
I find giving the arrow a brisk rubbing along the shaft where the bend is to warm it up then bend in the opposite in direction to the bend to remove it.
Use a piece of cloth around the shaft and rub vigorously to generate enough heat.
I've been using this method for years and it does work.
It gets easier the more you do it,practice and all that.
How's that new bow doing then?
