Gold Tip Laser 2 Bolts

My buddy bought new Gold tip laser 2 arrows from excalibur , but after shooting them into feed bags stuffed with shrink wrap the tips & inserts are coming out. I'm shooting aluminum bolts and the hot glue works great but I don't think you can apply heat to carbons. Does anyone have the same problems? If so how do I help this guy out? Thanks in advance for your help.

many many many similar stories to tell.

the latest ones I'm getting from BJ are glued in with 24 hour epoxy and they have not been blowing out.

PS - I have used ferr-l-tite hot melt on the inserts and glued them into carbons with no apparent problems too.

Right on Red Label I lost 4 brass this past week, I am going to use epoxy. I was told the jell super glue works ok, but think the epoxy would be better.

....

I agree with Mike...heat the glue, and then apply it to the insert...then pass the insert over the flame for just a split second, and then push it into the shaft...hope this helps...BB

I have used the gel type super glue and had no problems. You have to be quick though or the insert will stick half way in. I put and old,dull, two blade broadhead into the insert all the way before applying the glue. This gives you a handle and as I push the insert in, I twist at the same time. This spreads the glue evenly and insures an even bond. Haven't lost an insert since doing it this way.
