[Ansteorra-archery] what APD's work best?

[ironwyrm at juno.com]

Just caught this in passing and do not have time 
for long explanation but DO NOT USE "Gorilla 
Glue" it's too brittle.  We have gone to a stronger 
hot glue, it's semi-flexible and can absorb more 
shock.  Maybe Eadric has a better idea and he will 
chime in but I need to get back to work right now!

Later,

Ironwyrm
