Gold tip says not to use Hot Melt Glue with Carbon shafts??

I just glued in a dozen brass inserts with hot melt glue to my Gold tip Carbon arrows. Shortly after, I read the pamphlet that came with the arrows and it said "don't use hot melt glue with carbon arrows". Did I make a mistake by using traditional hot melt archery glue??? Will this damage my arrow shafts or cause me to loose inserts when shooting arrows at the targets??

Won't damage shafts [if properly applied] and the jury is still out on the inserts, lol.

Been using it for several yrs, inserts and nocks, no problems.

I also have been using it for 30+ years with no problems

Over the years I've used the low temp melt glue sticks on both Gold Tip arrows and bolts with zero damage to them.
