Default RE: What's up with Gold Tip Nocks???

Guys, you really shouldn't be glueing in any nocks. You should be bagging them in. Hold the shaft fletch side up and hold a plastic bag over the open end of the shaft, then push the nock through the bag and into the back of the shaft. This will create a tight enough fit to prevent the nock from coming out, but it will also allow you to remove it easily if the nock is damaged, and also won't weaken the plastic of the nock because of a chemical reaction to the glue. That glue can make any nock very brittle and could easily make them weak.

Just an FYI.........
