I use the Bohning hot melt and an alcohol burner. Never lost a point in a target.

I was a fan of the glue sticks that Martin sold but are no longer available. I have 2 left that I only use for broadheads. A few years back I did find a source for commercial hot melt sticks used in cabinet making, on here I believe, and they work great. I have never pulled a trip off, even after shooting into a frozen bale. Both the Martin and the commercial sticks are an amber color. The commercial was rated at an incredibly high PSI and had ring grooves in them to be run through a professional heat gun. Hope that helps.

The hot melt stuff that Three Rivers sell. Never had a problem with it.

I use a 3m industrial strength hot melt that Kirk from Bigfoot bows turned me on to. I used it on my broad heads for the Longbow safari and never lost a head.
I use my alcohol burner to melt and apply it.
I just got a case in  if you want to try some.

I like the Kimsha Quick Stick.  It's the same one mentioned as Big Jim's glue.  Most of the trad suppliers carry it.  Great glue that is not brittle in the cold like Bohning can be.
