Default How to keep points from coming loose?

I'll be finishing off my hunting setup soon for the upcoming deer season, and I want to make sure that my points stay tight. I believe in orienting my broadhead blades consistently from one arrow to another, and I want them to stay that way once set up. It would also be nice to be able to practice without retightening half of my arrow points each round.

Is blue or purple loc-tite a good idea?

How about a rubber o-ring?

Anybody use fiber washers?

Just use bowstring wax in the threads of the points.
