I use JB Weld. Once they are in I don't want them coming out.

Hot glue sticks for me. I like that I can remove them with very little heat and haven't had one come loose yet. I screw a field point into the insert then hold the field point with a pair of pliers. Apply some lighter flame to the insert to heat it up, then rub the glue stick to apply a small amount. Push insert into arrow and tap insert on table top to seat it. If there is any glue around the collar, just wipe away with a rag. Gotta be quick though before the glue sets. :D

Loctite two part epoxy for me.

I lost a few Broadhead and inserts in targets when I was using superglue for my inserts.

Regular carpenters Gorilla glue. I've tried a bunch and settled on this. Only one that's never failed......

Hot melt. I too like the option of being able to remove insert if desired. Holds well regardless of temp. Have had some superglued inserts come loose when exposed to below freezing conditions and with age. If I did use a SG it'd be Gorilla brand, it's latex fortified so don't get brittle like some.

X2 on Loctite Gel if you don't have to remove them for any reason. I use this in all my vertical and xbow arrows.

I like this one because of the impact resistance - works very well for me. I use the same glue for fletching as well.
