just bought some Gold Tip pin nock guards to put on my GT's.
I used pin nocks right up till I had a brand new nock explode upon release the arrow barely made it to the target after taking a chunk out of my bow hand.
Now I use uni bushings and g nocks in my GT's
If you are using the GT's with a 246 id then the Easton ac 360 uni bushings are a perfect fit but dont glue them in I just put a plastic sandwhich bag over the end of the arrow push the uni bushing in then strip the plastic down then a quick round of the bushing with a lighter gets rid of any left over plastic.
That way if you do get a back end hit just pull the bushing out and insert a new one.
