I'm assuming you used the tool, and the epoxy that came with the shafts. After the insert is installed it takes a while for the epoxy to set, so you should leave the shafts horizontal for 24 hours or the inserts could slide down the shaft some before the epoxy drys.

Welcome back! I was in the same boat, leaving the archery world for six years and hunting with a muzzleloader. I just started again this year I bought a whole new setup from bow arrows rest quiver the whole nine yards. I feel like bowhunting is so tough any advantage you can gain will help you...
