The ferrel-tite glue works great. I've always used it for aluminum inserts in my carbon arrows and for steel points on my wooden arrows. The only gripe I have is that in the winter I've lost the points off my wooden arrows inside 3-D targets. I think this is due to a combination of the cold, hard foam and the heat created when the arrow enters the target. The reason this product is so good is that it's easy to use: just heat the glue with a torch, put it on the shaft or insert, heat it, and apply. It also works great for me because I can just heat it up again and remove the points so I can put broadheads on the wooden arrows or remove insterts/points from broken arrows. Surprisingly, to me, the glue holds strong despite its simple application (with the exception of the cold weather target removal). I'm going to try the 2-part epoxy for the wooden arrows in the winter though.
I would not recommend this for field repairs. i bought this to keep in my boat for quick fixes on my bowfishing arrows. the problem i have been having is when i put the glue on the shaft the outsert broadhead cools the glue to fast and it just pushes it up the shaft. it has become a two person operation to put an arrow together (one keeping the glue hot and the other heating up the broadhead) once it is on i must say i dont think it will ever come off though. i will be keeping this for at home repairs and putting something else in the boat.
I've used this on the inserts for aluminum arrows (haven't made the switch to carbon YET) and have never had one break loose under any circumstances. It works easy and neat, sets quickly, so make sure your blade to vane alignment is good to go. I just heat the insert, spin it on the glue block, insert into arrow shaft and give it a slight twist. Wipe excess before it dries. Done. Like Cabela's, I have been extremely satisfied with Bohning products and when something works, you stick with it (no pun intended).
