I use AAE Fast Set Gel...basically super glue gel.  I never have any issues with them coming out.

I've also had problems with standard glues.  Switched to LocTite 2-part epoxy-- no more lost inserts.  Let them set overnight.  I also prep the arrows with a carbon prep tool.

After shaft and insert prep, I use the devcon epoxy that gives you 30 minutes working time. Then I let them cure overnight. There is something about epoxy that requires an overnight or it don't come out right.

Well, after bare shafting and settling on 175gr field point the 100gr brass inserts held firm in my Gold Tip 5575 camo blems. I also shot 50 fletched arrows without a problem. So I think I will stay with the 2 part JB Weld...PR
