Got my new arrows in from HC. Put new broadheads on to try out. Already zeroed the mini with field tips. First shot I’m a little left, but the bad part is n the pic below. Am I supposed to glue something before shooting these?

Arrow was in the foam. Broadhead and insert was in the backstop.

Not sure about their arrows specifically but you can take the shaft and rough the inside (where the insert goes) with a gun cleaning brush. Then clean with acetone. The clean the insert also. Add some good glue such as goat tuff and twist the insert when you push back into the arrow. Allow enough time to dry (dependent on what glue you choose). The you are good to go!

Thanks. I have 5 more in the new package. Would you recommend I glue them all?

Yes sir...rough the inside of the shaft and clean them first. I had to literally beat an insert out with a drill bit once. I didn’t get the inserts seated correctly...man it was a pain to get out. That really holds them tight!
