| hmmm there may be enough to get that out buddy. I will wait for others to help ya but I'm willing to try as I have a repointer and if I can get just a little hold on it out she will come. So lets wait to hear what others say first okay. |

| There is another way. You can try heating the barrel up and the point should fall out.
Use this as a last resort though because I dont know what will happen to the gold colouring on your dart.
You could also try a claw hammer. Hold the barrel in a vice, using a bit of timber on each side of the dart so the vice doesnt leave marks on your dart. Then use the claw hammer as if you are pulling a nail out of a bit of wood.
Be careful using the hammer method that you dont use too much sideways force as you dont want to make the hole oval shaped. |

| Plenty there to get hold of, just send it to be re pointed (plenty of places online that do it) |

| I had a dart with gripper points snap in the exact same place. In the end, I pulled it out myself using a pair of plyers. It was pretty hard word mind!! |
