I just made up an arrow fiberglass x sure-shot and adhered it with JB Weld. I'm just trying that to see if it works any better or worse than anything I've tried in the past.

What has worked the BEST for you over the years???

hot glue and a pin

I've had good results with JB weld but I don't think anything holds better than drilling a hole and pressing in a small pin.

Loc-tite 2 part epoxy.

Gorilla glue, and pin. I use a small hammer and a punch on an anvil and mushroom each side of the pin.

2 ton epoxy is probably the best but I use super glue 95% of the time and it works just fine for me.

When installing points, first I'll slide a point on without glue and mark the arrow with a sharpie. Then I score four rings around the shaft in front of that mark. Then I'll glue the point on. That holds points on like a sumbich without having to pin them.

Loc tite 2 part epoxy for points and supper glue for nocks

 

[g-devil]

Super glue

 

[bowkill]

Super glue for the points and nocks but like TTG said. I also make some rings with the dremel tool just enough for the glue to have somewhere to go

[Skin and scales]

Loc tite super glue and have left many arrows in logs cause they don't pull off.....never had one come off this way

Crimped and glued from Backwater.

I normally use a 2 ton epoxy for the tips and super glue or nock glue (same thing as SG only more expensive) for the nocks. However in cold winter weather I am going to start pinning the tips because I lost 2 in one day to the epoxy shrinking/becoming brittle and falling off in fish.

Loctite epoxy & a pin.

What kind of pins are you guys using? I used to just use nails and file the ends in a mushroom. I'm sure there's a better way these days. I bought a rivet gun but the rivets it came with are all too big. I've been meaning to research for smaller rivets that will work with the gun I have, but saw this thread and figured I might get some tips. Thanks.

I use a small nail,and just peen the off side.
I use Hot Glue so I can spin test and the nail doesnt even throw the balance off

 

[froghunter]

what ever glue i got. to me the PIN is the MOST important part.

 

[sticknmofish]

2 part epoxy. If you shoot in rocks alot like we do you will find out that a pin will make the arrow weaker around the tip. imo

 

[TWright33]

2 part epoxy. Doesn't even matter what ton. I doubt any fish or underwater obstacle will ever pull the point off, ever.
