Well my wife was sweet enough to get me the materials I need to fletch some arrows for christmas.  I seem to be doing well but i got a question for yall?  Can I use fletch tite to put in inserts?  

She got me everything but the glue for the inserts.

Thanks in advance

Yes You can, I used that before I move on to Wood'n arrows. Now I use hot melt

Never had luck with it myself. I use epoxy or hot melt.

I haven't tried Fletch Tite myself, but I would sure agree the epoxy or hot melt are better choices.  If I am still playing around and not sure if my set up is permanent I prefer hot melt.  But once I know what I want on the arrow permanently I prefer the epoxy.  If you use epoxy get the stuff that takes 24 hours to cure.  The 30 minute epoxy isn't as strong.

Fletch Tite kinda stinks for inserts.  My son tried it in his carbons and just screwing in a field point (after the glue has had plenty of time to set of course) is enough to loosen the inserts right up.

Get some Goat Tuff or something - searching for those heads and inserts inside your target gets annoying.
