I’m going to be cutting my arrows down in stages to see what length tunes the best. What is a good insert glue to use for insert removal? Once I find a length I want I will jb weld it in for good. Thanks.

I've had good luck with this glue so far.

I’ve had good luck with Kimsha and Bohning Cool Flex.
I have as well, but I have lost some inserts with cool flex. Kimsha has been great so far for me… hopefully it stays great, because I can’t permanently glue anything in with my current program.

The kimsha is fairly low temp and very sticky, so if it holds up long term, it seems to be the perfect hot melt. Easy to loosen up with hot water so you don’t have to torch your inserts which heats up the carbon more than i like

Are you shooting a recurve? Cutting arrows down in increments is pretty much unnecessary with a compound, make sure you aren’t close to a weak spine, cut as short as you’re comfortable with and then start tuning

I second both of these. I've lost multiple inserts (with broadheads at times) with cool melt. Realistically, using hot melt of any type just requires enough surface area of the insert. Losing stuff in expensive targets sucks.. done it too many times now.

It’s a compound. I’m good for the spine, just playing with length, weight of inserts, and foc, and overall weight.
