Glue backed up into the threads...you need to clean out the threads....heat up a field point with a propane torch and carefully screw it in while still hot(do this a few times till the threads are clean)...of course hold it with a pair of pliers....Jeff

Try turning your broadhead backwards until it skips over the first thread making a click sound, then start to tread them in. This may help.

An 8/32 bottoming tap will do a great job....Chuck it up on your cordless drill, set the tension to as low as it will go (#1 ??), keep a loose grip on the arra'shaft and you can do 3-400 in an hour. LOL

Use a starter tap center's better no need for a bottom tap it's drilled through.

Sorrey monk you are right it is a blind hole in a insert if you have to go all the way you do need a bottom tap.Most of the time you don't have to tap it that far.Year's ago I borrowed a starter tap from work and ground some of the taper off just to clean the first few threads that's normaly all you have to do.

you are lucky, it's a sign use another head all the "rage" about the rage is pure marketing! Seen it fail too many times either opening before shot or poor penetration!

I'm having same problem, the broadhead threaded portion seems to be 1 size smaller than the insert in the arrow

I would try to run a die over it. If I didn't have a die I would go to the hardware store and get a nut to try on the threads. This would prove the broadhead was the problem. It is more than likely glue in the insert threads.

Best way to fix it is to remove from arrow tip, find and deposit into the nearest trash receptacle and buy literally and COC 3-4 blade fixed head.
