For our 11/32 shafts we use a 2413 Easton shaft. If the clear-coat on your arrows is very thick, you may have to sand the arrow shaft a little to get it to slide on and allow a little space for the glue.
We use high-test, liquid super glue and have had no failures yet. The first few I made, I used 2-hour epoxy. Great holding power, but it pushes through the back of the insert and ruins the threads. I will shoot some pics tonight and post those tomorrow if that will work for you.

I guess this would have been a depredation hunt. I am a pretty good cook, but I'm not sure I could make a meal out of that which wouldn't taste like crap. We left them lay, but there seems to be plenty.
This is one hunt where you want to make sure that the ones you shoot have a little age on them. The older they are, the better. If you make a mistake and shoot a young one, there is a self-inflicted penalty, especially if you have white fletching.

There must be a micro-climate, habitat thing going on in that pasture. We saw quite a few. The larger concentrations were localized though. There were heavy populations adjacent to the pond and around the feed troughs. There was one, right in the middle of the driveway, but my buddy wasn’t sure how it got there. It could have been a genetic variant that wandered in.
I think he was going to try just a skull mount. He put it in with some beetles, but I haven’t heard how that is working out for him. I will keep you advised.
