PSE arrow point inserts

Hey fellas

I received a bow as an early xmas gift. I'm not having any luck keeping my arrow point inserts to stay in the arrow. Any tricks I need to know. Every time I remove them from the target the insert and point stay behind.

The arrows are 300 grain PSE STL Hunters, the inserts came with the arrows.

Thanks

Paw338 get yourself some instant fletch tite from an archery pro shop, then before you glue the insert in scratch up the inside of the shaft, there is actual arrow prep tools for this. that can be purchased, I always have a few pipe cleaners on hand and swap the inside of the shaft with alcohol.if you do not get the dust out the insert will not glue.
Take the time to do it properly and you will never have a problem.
I am sure there are other ways to do this and other glues on the market but this works for me , and all the other people arrows I have made.

I guess I don't know what these arrows are.. are they carbon? if so.. fletch tite may work for a time, but not the best glue to use.

I have used epoxy in the past for mine, it does the job, but is time consuming. Now I use low-temp hot glue for the carbons. Just heat up the insert a little, melt some glue to it, and place the insert in the shaft. Since going to the hot glue, I have lost only a couple inserts to targets.

i'll agree with blacktails method, but fletch tite is for fletches...try power bond and let it set for 24 hours. Also when you push the insert in, give it a little twist once its all the way in to spread the glue.

Toxic, they are carbon

I've kinda used a bit of everyones suggestions. Removed carbon dust from sizing, marked up inside of shaft and used Loc Tite red let it sit for 24hrs. Seems to be working.

Thanks for the help fellas.
