11/32 onto 5/16

Decided I wanna try a particular brand of broadhead, but they they aren't available in a 5/16 shaft size.
Is there anything wrong with glueing up a 11/32 broadhead to a 5/16 shaft? I've heard of some people doing it and not having any bad results, but I wanted to hear from some of yall fellas, before I started slinging glue around.
Thanks!

The arrow has a kind of "over bite" but I guess it would work. I think it would tend to pull bits out of a target.

Glue 'em on and don't give it another thought. I shoot a lot of 5/16 and have been doing it for years. It works great. I feel it makes for a stronger head to shaft junction as there is not a hard stress line at that point.

Most carbon shafts are 5/16". I've been shooting 11/32" ferrule broadheads on Beman and Easton carbons for several years. The only problem is finding the arrows after they blow through whatever animal I just shot.
