The low temp blue glue stick has worked great for inserts on aluminum/carbon but I have found it is almost useless on glue-ons for wood shafts....not sure why but it has not worked for me on wood.

I buy a 6-pack of milky white hot melt sticks at Ace Hardware.  They are 6 inches long I believe.  I have never lost a point.

After seeing BIG John's video, I am sure this is the product I have been looking for. I will soon be ordering some.

Thank you all for your input.

I watched the videos, and the Quik Stick is what I use with my wood arrows.  I get it from KK, but it is the same product.  Good stuff.  Remove the plastic sleeve from the stick before heating the glue.
