i use coffe marketings hot melt, if for nothing else its very easy to remove them if neccesary, ive had to many problems with super glue

If you use goattuff(superglue), don't plan on removing and don't hesitate when installing
Hot melt should work

Super glue worked for me in the past. BUT not this year.

12 arrows had to be reglued so I used Bohning Power bond from Academy.

The stuff has worked great so far.
A little pricy, but sometimes you have to pay to play.

I've always just used hot-glue. Never had any problems

I always use hot glue and it works great. The other day I had some new arrows cut at a shop and they put my inserts in with Goat Tuff. GoatTuff =Permanent. I guess I'm alright with that. I can always cut the arrows down from the back if I need to for some reason since my nocks aren't glued in. Hot glue is much cheaper, works great, and would allow you to change inserts or shorten your arrow length from that end if you ever needed to. Just my opinion.

Loc -Tite instant gel. Use it for everything, inserts, fletching, whatever else.

Not saying it won't work, but you better be quick inserting the insert! That stuff dries fast.

I use two-part epoxy for my Axis inserts.

Yes, you are correct about that, I originally started using it on some fletchings that I was having adhision problems with. Problem solved.

For hunting arrows I use two part epoxy and for target arrows I use hot melt glue.

TOby, get to work

If your are using aluminum shafts, then hot glue is the ticket. For carbon shafts, I recommend 2-part epoxy: just be careful to keep it out of the inside of the insert. Also, regardless of the glue you use on carbon, take the time to clean the inside of the shaft with denatured alcohol on a q-tip. Carbon dust and residual factory coatings can keep the glue from adhering well.

I use Lancaster Archery Supply's low heat hot melt on all my inserts/glue in target points. Carbon arrow manufacturers don't recommend hot melt. You just have to be careful and apply heat ONLY to the point and not much heat. I keep a glass of water on my bench to cool points/inserts after they are installed. I have installed hundreds...maybe thousands of points/inserts in carbon shafts with no damage/problems. Plus......You can take them out easy if you need to.

Thanks for all the replies..I do have fletching glue and some gorilla glue but no hot glue, so if I can use those - which it soulds like I can - then that saves me a trip to town! I appreciate it..

Plain old super glue and never had a problem.
