broadhead coming unscrewed

[BRONZ]

I have used this particular arrow to practice with and now the insert allows the head to come loose.  I have redressed it with new feathers to hold a broadhead, but it comes loose with just walking!  Now, these inserts are not hot-melt glued in, so changing the insert is out of the question.  

What can I use to keep the broadhead from coming unscrewed?  Thought about finger nail finish?

blue loc-tite.   :p

Bowstring wax on the threads works for me.

I second the loc-tite. Teflon tape works well too.

I might have to try this!

Second the string wax

[Widow's Son]

I've always used teflon tape.

[Shawn Leonard]

String wax works fine! Shawn

I have tried string wax and it still rattles loose sometimes. I am going to try some teflon tape here soon.

Just use a bit of hot melt on the threads - won't come loose until you reheat it.  I use it on all my target tips and broadheads.  Never have a problem with unscrewing anymore.

teflon tape, string wax, small dab of glue all work well

I pull the blue liners out of Coke bottle caps and trim to make a gasket. Cut a small hole first, screw it on under your broad head and trim with a sharp knife against the arrow.  Keeps it tight and allows you to rotate your broad head out of your vision.

Use loc tight. But looking long term , are you shooting left wing fletch? Left wing will tend to unscrew a head. Right wing will tend to tighten. They may still work loose some but not as often .

It's either a #10 or #12 lock washer. They're only a few grains. I used them back in the 80s and have a few lying around but can't remember the exact size. I'm thinking 312 is likely it.

I put beeswax on the threads.

[Mike Mecredy]

If you use left helical fletching, put some threadlocker on your threads, otherwise it shouldn't happen.

I do not understand this sentence?  Do you mean you have refletched to RW so the arrow spins into the threads thereby tightening it upon the shot?  Use Blue Lock-Tite as described above.

A dot of clear nail polish on the threads works well.

After almost two years of shooting this arrow during practice (which occurs frequently), the feathers were worn, so I stripped the crest and feathers and put new ones on.  Now that she's had a make-over, I decided to put a broadhead on her and let her ride in my quiver.  
BTW, all my feathers are RW.
