    Anyone else having trouble with their inserts and points falling out in your target? I had it happen to two arrows today with less than 20 shots fired on each arrow. I'm not too upset because it's cheap to fix but kinda a pain in the butt

    Can't say I've had that happen before, that does sound like a pain. Bad batch or old glue maybe? I'd buy some new glue before I put inserts back in.

    Happened once on some arrows that I left in the sun.

    Only happened to me when I tried Bohning Cool Flex. I use Loctite Ultra Control Gel now for vanes and inserts and they stay in tight, even when pulling them from my Reinhardt.

    inserts come out of my Maximas all the time.
    Going to try that loctite gel.
