Moved your question up here from the caveman forum.  I've had good luck with two-ton epoxy or gel superglue.

I'm suprized ya'll like epoxy so much. I've had horn tips pop off on me multiple times with epoxy. I've had good luck with super glue, tite bond 2 or 3 or gorilla glue, but not epoxy.

Hmmm. I've put scads of them on with two-ton epoxy, never had one come off yet even after thousands of shots on a couple bows. the only tip overlay I ever had to come loose was put on with regular superglue.
