Here's my take, doesn't matter if the shaft is square or not, there's no way the insert can go in not square unless it's loose in the shaft and I havent found any (carbons) that were, all fit pretty tight even before the glue. It's not like your cross threading them in there. Just my take on it and there could be cases were it matters, I've never seen it and spinning it if it is out of square wont make it square. If anything I'd say a bad insert or head. Then again, I've never cut one out of square orever had one not spin true unless the ferrul was bent.
Most everybody round here knows what hot melt is and how to use it.
CE's fly great, I hate the finish. Reminds me too much of the noise aluminums make when drawn.
Don't care for fmj's and don't see how one of them, if they are cutout ofsquare wouldn't have the same problem even worse if it is an issue, the ferrul doesn't fit as tight as the insert.
Don't take the place to seriously, it'll eat you up and no body else really cares, were all taking ourselves to seriously to pay much attention to you.
That goes back to getting what you pay for. I've sold some of those super cheap carbons and it seems like on one arrow you have to smack the snot out of insert to get it seat, and the next you have to hold in place until the glue sets up. You can in fact get the insert installed a bit off center, if not crooked.
The broadhead has a lot to do with it as well. Muzzy's are notoriously picky, thanks largely to that big heavy trocar tip on the end. If you get a little bit of wobble when you spin test, that wobble is going to mess with your arrow flight, because that heavy tip is where a fair bit of your weight is.
The ASD certainly does help... I use it on my arrows before I glue in the inserts, and then again on the face of the insert itself.... although now that I'm shooting HIT inserts.. its kind of a moot point.... if you get wobble with a HIT insert then either your arrow is crooked, or your broadhead is crooked.
