You could silver solder it. It's very strong but reversible.

Epoxy works fine, just make sure you have the alignment true before it sets.

If you go with epoxy get the 24 hour set.

I used to use glue, thinking that I could swap out heads at will. But since I lose or break arrows far more often than I ever get a chance to swap out heads, I switched over to the 24 hour epoxy as well.

I do customer's heads with epoxy, and never a complaint.  I use hot melt for my own, I tinker too much!
