Maxima hunter arrow questions??

[nysmoker]

Bought these new last year with my DXT... fly great best groups i have ever gotten ... only problem is the damn nocks pull out when i pull the arrow off the string and i lose the little bushing ...I dont have the problem when i shoot... so other than glue what other ideas can you come up with? ... yea i know just shoot them off at dear and you dont have that problem

I take a finger nail file and file the inside of the nock just a tad so they still fit snug but come off the string much easier. Kind of tune your nocks so to speak.

You can use something like Saran wrap. Hold it over the nock end of the arrow and just push it in with the nock---if the nocks are loose. Then trim off around the shaft.

If the nocks are not loose then your nock fit to serving is way too tight. Figure it this way. Can you pull the nock out of the arrow by hand? They should be snug; not loose and not tight.

Now nock an arrow onto the string and hold the bow horizontal so the arrow is hanging toward the ground. Give the string a good tap with your index finger. The arrow should fall off. If it doesn't then your nocks are too tight. The best way to cure this is to get the string reserved with smaller diameter center serving.

correct.you could try warming them in hot water and take a piece of cardbroad folded in half in stick your nocks on it to widing them hot so they are not so snug.

Just push the nock end to take the arrow off .

I've had the same issue over time with the Maximas and bulldogs. As mentioned you can do the Saran wrap trick, or you can just use an Easton uni-bushing and G nocks.

I would def NOT reccomend going with an aftermarket nock such as a Bohning Blazer nock or such-they are a little too large and over time will cause cracking/splitting on the back end of the shaft. Yes- I found that out the expensive way

try pushing the end of the nock from behind instead of pulling the arrow shaft. I'm not sure what the purpose of the collars are so I wouldn't fret too much over it. The arrow should fly the same without out it, the weigh difference is so small. Try shooting some without the collar and see where they hit. If you must have the collars the can be purchased, I think Lancaster Archery has them or you can use the ones you lost as practice arrows. Just my opinon here.

While I agree you can do it this way IMHO if you do have to then the nocks are too tight on the string. Nocks that don't fit properly (or at least) close do affect accuracy to a degree.

I forget, but I think it makes the arrows act stiffer coming out of the bow.
