Default RE: Inserts and Axis arrows...what's the big deal??

ORIGINAL: MeanV2

Lot of people are putting axis inserts in with low temp hot melt guue and haveing good results!
Not to be disrespectful but IMHO that would be a mistake and no advantage I can think of.

LOW TEMP hot melt does give you better adhesion absent of voids.This is much better than epoxy that can have voids and can run causing lumps when it dries BUT it is dangerous when dealing with straight carbon shafts.It can be done but one must be careful not to heat the carbon.The provided epoxy is probably best for the hit inserts and their intended purpose.


Getting away from hunting arrows into long range shooting,hot melt is definately preferred.You will even see people dropping their arrows on the floor to listen for the vibration.You can HEAR when the glue has voids in it,believe it or not.

I learned this from someone that tunes arrows for world class shooters.
