Inserts?

[old killer]

Hard setting adhesives will hold well, but you have a hard time turning the insert after it is set. You can ruin the shaft trying to remove an insert epoxied in. I prefer the soft melt glue sticks, they allow you to work with the insert to tune the heads to the shaft. The soft melts also give on impact instead of breaking the bond. I use it on hunting arrows and target arrows.

I used to use super glue gel, but several years ago I switched to Bohning's Insert Iron - made specifically for inserts with lots of impact resistence. The only downside is a long cure time - it says 48 hours or something like that on the bottle, but I've shot them after 24 hours with no problem. Once that glue sets up, the insert will never come out.

If your insert fits the shaft properly, you shouldn't have to turn it for any reason. If your broadhead wobbles, it's the broadhead and not the insert.

Seem's like everyone is always in a hurry. Building arrows is a stress reliever for me. Why get in a hurry? Grab a beer and take your time and enjoy.

Epoxy here

[Pushbutton2]

Epoxy. Dab some on the insert and install it with a field tip. When you get it in, turn it a couple of turns to even out the epoxy.

I tried the 2 Part Epoxy on my Gold Tips. Already lost two inserts. When I tried to pull the arrows out of the target.

I'm back to dying Goat Tuff. I've hit the wood before and never lost an insert.

I use hot glue. I screw a field point in the insert and hold it with pliers. Heat it up with one of those hand held torches and then rub the glue stick around on it and put it in the arrow. Wipe off the excess before it cools and it's good to go.

Insert iron or Hot Melt.

I've never lost one with epoxy. I've blown up the arrow, but insert was still there.

If you use a superglue, it is easy for the insert to set in the shaft slightly off-center, causing run-out to be crooked, causing broad-head flight issues.
With epoxy, as you install insert, you can spin insert until it is centered as best as possible.
To avoid losing inserts, the inside of shaft needs to be etched with some type of wire brush,(a .270 bore brush works well).
24 hr epoxy is best, but I use 5 minute to be able to get shafts out the door.
I have very few inserts pull out, and I put out nearly 10,000 shafts per year.

Thank you.

Seems to be lots of internet " Archery Guruism" around here with very little actual experience.
We try to help anyway.

Yep. Everyone wants to take short cuts then wonder why they're broadheads don't fly right.
