Gluing tips on arrows
« on: September 15, 2008, 07:01:00 AM »
I don't know where else to post this as there is no arrow building thread, so here is my question. What is the best glue/epoxy for putting field tips on wooden arrows? I have just discovered Loc Tite epoxy and it is the best I have tried to date. Anything else out there? Thanks

I use Duco. If i want to put a broadhead on all you need to do is heat it up.

Hot glue sticks. Make sure you get the high strength stuff, and not the "hobby" stuff.

Epoxy is great, but makes it tough to remove a point, if you want to change weight, or have a run-out issue.
