I've got some old Gamegetter 2's that I'll want to clock my broadheads. Anyone know what Easton used for insert glue? Most likely late 90's/early 2000's. Thanks.
Hot melt, not the blue used for carbon!
Bohning Ferrule Tite hot melt. Only issue with that glue is after a few years it can become brittle. On arrows i made say 5 years ago and want to use I change the nocks and reglue the inserts. Super glue will work but it doesn't like hard hits.
If you want to adjust or rotate broadheads use hot melt glue. If you want very durable inserts for feild tips you use for stumping and 3D, use 5 minute epoxy.
Btw... there is a trick for removing inserts that have been epoxied in, or have used super glue. Find a drill bit that easily slides inside the shaft and whip the arrow directly downward. The weight of the drill bit will break it loose.

Ever get any "bad" hot melt? I just tossed a chunk of old Ferrule-Tite, maybe it was always bad but I never noticed just using it for inserts...I had a few back to back failures with glue-on broadheads. Switched to a new stick and it melted much creamier. New stuff held up good in my target..
....or is that what you meant by "it goes bad"...even the unused glue goes bad?
When I shot aluminum, I used regular craft store glue sticks. Mostly because that's what the old guy who ran the archery shop taught me to use when I was a kid.
Heat it up with a blow torch and you will know pretty quick if they're just hot melted in.
