    I have never had a problem, I don't even use the epoxy, just Easton hot melt. Could it be a prep issue?

    Haven't had any problems with mine. Going to get new ones here in a couple weeks.

    Are you building your own arrows? If so are you using alcohol and a q-tip after cutting? The debris inside the arrow shaft may not be allowing the adhesive to take a good hold inside there.

    I experienced this last year on a couple of arrows. It is the epoxy that was used. If you are having them built or of you build them yourself, have the use the Easton Hot melt like horowitz1282 said.
