I was out shooting my Vortex today and when I was pulling the arrow out of the target with an arrow puller the rear insert pulled out. Are these supposed to be glued in? If so what kind of glue should I use? They are carbon arrows that came with my bow.
Thanks

Re: Insert at the back on the arrow
The best solution to this inevitable situation (when using that type of puller) is to get a set of plier-type pullers from Dan Miller. They work marvelously well. They do not strain the shaft, they do not weaken or pull the inserts.killshot wrote:I was out shooting my Vortex today and when I was pulling the arrow out of the target with an arrow puller the rear insert pulled out.
Much, much better ... in my opinion. Many others think so too.
I'd give Dan a call. Just search for his information.

Re: Insert at the back on the arrow
ditto...take the screw in puller and throw it as far as you can...go ahead and pick it up and throw it one more time ...now get yourself one like mentioned above...the screw in type can stress as grizz says, and can actually be dangerous if you happen to be pulling a broadhead out of the target...with Dan's puller you can grab the shaft right at the bag, put less stress on it (i've seen carbon bolts bend on numerous occasions), and control the point end as you retrieve it...Grizzly Adam wrote:The best solution to this inevitable situation (when using that type of puller) is to get a set of plier-type pullers from Dan Miller.

Another vote for Dan Miller's arrow puller - it works great!!!!!!!
As for the gorilla glue, I've never tried it for inserts, but I keep some "quick set" glue on hand for my fly tying.

Gorilla glue is tough but you better not want to remove those inserts or nocks, it won't melt. Some 'crazy glues' like Goat Tuff hold well but can be softened with heat. Same with hot melt glue meant for such purpose.
I too stopped using a nock-fastened puller. Use a rubber arrow gripper and lube my arrows using Jig A Loo, a Teflon spray that dries quickly.
