Default inserts???

Does anyone glue their inserts to the shaft? I have been shooting Thunderheads into a Morrell Yellow Jacket block. I recently lost 2 heads that slipped off due to the insert upon removing the arrow from the target. So yesterday while shooting, I lost another. I decided to break the foam down and I had a total of 5 broadheads inside. Is this common? Most of the time I shoot Gold Tip arrows. I think I read somewhere that you do not glue the inserts in, is this correct?

I have always glued my inserts in. I am suprised that you only had 5 BHs in there.

What type of glue do you all use for carbon arrows? I used the heat activated glue stick and mine pull out in the foam from time to time as well. I am thinking of using the two part epoxy to see if that will hold better.

I heat up the insert then take a glue stick melt some on there and put it in the shaft.. Don't over heat the insert or else the heat will damage the shaft. I have never had an insert come out.. yet.
