Hi friends, I am a newbie of compound bow but do want to do bow hunting for a while. I bought a new bow and arrows, inserts, release and target yesterdy, the salesman just put a bunch of essential items together without too much explaination. After back home I used guerrila glue to put the inserts in and screw on the practise points, after several shots all 6 arrows tips stuck into the Hurrican 450 target, I tried and pull 3 of them out, 3 of them missed in the thick target bag, later I tried to glue again and shot again, I still met the same problem again and again. then I searched found the arrow shaft ID is .272, but on amazon I found most of are .244 inserts. Here are questions: 1, are all arrow ID different and how to find right inserts for them? 2, what happened to me is because the glue is not strong enough? or the target surface is too tight? or the inserts i bought is too small for the ID of the arrow shaft?

Like noted above, matching the insert to the inside diameter of the shaft is important. I perfer a snug fit, not hard, but snug...
Different,but near the same. I can't get pin bushings for one size arrow I use. Here, I buy over size CXL pin bushings, placing pin in my dremel tool and use super light emery paper to hone the diameter down to a snug fit.

I don't know where the rest of the world comes from, but inserts of correct diameter and glues of today I'd shooting as soon as I screwed in the points. Yes, inside the shaft and insert cleaned as they should be.
Arrow ends cut correctly there is no need for squaring.....I haven't squared a arrow end in 18 years..........Exception was when I tested 3 different tools for squaring arrow ends. 2 of them are far back on the back of my work bench and another is in a bucket behind the seat in my truck.........
