Both will work. I have used CA on 40+ bows with no problems. The time saved with the CA is worth it to me. You can be working the tip within an hour of appling.

Just make sure your surfaces mate perfectly and that they are scored to give the glue something to bite into.
There is always someone that knows more than you, and someone that knows less than you, so you can always learn and you can always teach
