I always use TB11, but be sure your surfaces match good because it will not fill gaps.

Smooth on epoxy is the one of the archery industry standards for applying tips and laminating bow limbs together.  Its in the 3R catalog or available at Binghamsprojects.com.

In my humble opinion it is about the only thing which will hold a deer antler tip overlay in place.

Good Luck

Mike
