Default Another question on uni nocks and inserts.


I still haven't ordered the arrows yet (Beman ICS hunter 400).
However I have never put an arrow together and never used these uni bushing and nocks.

When the instructions say (installing bushings) to use a gel type cyanoacrylate cement, are they talking about "Gel Super Glue"?

What is the general opinion of this type of nock setup, is there something better, don't be shy just say what you think/know?

Yep, pretty much most glues today are super glues (anything with cyanoacrylate). Most carbons require them. The old days of using bohning cement are over. Worked great for aluminums. The only advantage of using the new "arrow specific" super glues are they seem more bendable. Where regular super glues can be brittle.

I have tried the super nocks and all the fancy nock adaptors. And I pretty much stick with the standard bohning signature series. I don't like wieght on the back of my arrows from the nock adaptors.

I agree, I also use the bohning signature nocks, and think a simple press fit nock without a bushing is plenty good for trad needs.

When you say "a simple press fit " do you mean there is no glue, it's just a friction fit?
If this is the case do you ever have problems with them coming out or how do they stay indexed?

Yes, they just compression fit into the end.

I've never had an issue of them coming out, and very little turning which is an easy fix to re-index if needed for fine tuning.
