I would think a slow cure epoxy would be very strong. Remember to degrease/clean the metal.
shoot straight shoot often

Yup... Epoxy is good.  Use acetone on the metal like Katman recommended. Some types of mineral spirits, or paint thinner have oil in them.

any name brand slow set epoxy will work. You can sand the inserts a little also.

I've used JB Weld, but I think it's brittle.  I like Z-Poxy and 3M's 5200 is awesome stuff too (5200 takes a week to cure fully though).

I use the stuff used by golf club builders to secure a head to a shaft. It's very shock resistant.
