    Best glue for inserts?

    Anybody have any suggestions for a good glue to use for arrow inserts? I have lost 3-4 of them in my targets in the last month or so and I don't want to donate any more...Thanks for the help!

      I've always used 2 part epoxy. Never had them come loose.

        Gorilla glue two part epoxy works great for me. It sets up really quick too.

              Need to use something with a little flexibility. Using the non-flexibile is why you are losing them.

              Therefore, go with the AAE Epoxy, which maintains flexibility.

                I've mostly used 2 part expoxy. I thought about regular Gorilla Glue but was a little concerned about how much it expands. I just ordered some shafts online and decided to also order a bottle of "Insert Iron" - a Bohning product said to be made specifically for inserts. It's apparently slow drying, but I thought I'd five it a try.

                    Easton hot melt, unless you use arrows that have the HIT inserts, then use epoxy.

                      I use Bohning Insert Iron. Has worked well on 3 dozen arrows so far.
