Nock problems
 

After shooting Easton Carbon Evolution 400's a while, I noticed a few nocks would come loose, subsequently I replaced them with new ones......which were tight again. Perhaps the newer Easton Super Nocks are better fitting? One more question.......are there similiar problems with the Easton Super Slam Selects and nocks becoming loose?

I really like unibushings but wonder if there really is any difference between Super Slams and Super Slam Selects other than Selects being more swaged and not using unibushings?

Coug, I'm pretty certain that the only difference between the two is the swage and not using the unibushing. I think the unibushing is the better of the two setups though.

As for the nocks getting loose in the carbons... Carbon arrows still have a problem with their inside diameter tolerances. Combine that with molded plastic nocks and the tolerance problems with them and you've got a pain. I've got some carbon arrows that have nocks that are so tight I can't hardly budge them and some that are so loose that I have to re-index the nocks every other time I shoot the things. That's why Gold Tip puts those expansion screws in their nocks.

I haven't tried it myself yet but, from what I've read, putting unibushings in carbons goes a long way to helping out their accuracy. The bushings also reinforce the nock end of the shaft and help prevent splitting.

I'm gonna have to try that one of these days.

Me three;)

BINGO! :D

Won't shoot them any other way. Saves you some cash and some headaches in the long run.

Well, firing an arrow or taking an arrow from the string with the nock still on the string is somewhat disconcerting. Never had that problem with loose nocks using unibushings! Gonna pay a visit to my dealer tomorrow!!;)
