insert trouble

[fakejordan]

i was out shooting today and when i pulled my arrow out, the insert and tip stayed in the target. I cant get to a bowshop for at least two weeks so i want to know if I could simply superglue the insert back in or if i have to wait and take it to the shop.

Yes but clean the insert and inside of the arrow first

[Redneck Bowhunter]

Yes, I clean the inside of the shaft with a Q-Tip dipped in Isopropyl 91%. Also clean the insert withit as well. Then let dry 5 min. and reglue.

24-hour epoxy is way better than superglue.

Last time I did inserts in carbons I used Gorilla Glue, just to see if it'd work. The inserts are still stuck good, not even a hint of a single one wanting to back out, and it's been nearly 2 months now.

Gorilla Glue will stick to anything, that stuff is awesome.

I use hot glue, which is not as strong, but I like the option of taking the insert out and being able to cut the arrow or try a new insert if my broadheads don't spin well in the original. Most other options are permanent and don't allow for changes.

So only the Hot Melt glues you can take out and reglue?
