QUICK TIPS

Gluing Nocks In Carbon Shafts

If you are worried about your adjustable nocks shifting position during an important tournament or field trip, it is perfectly OK to glue them in place. However, there is no need to use epoxy, super glue, or even normal fletching cement as these products fuse the nock to the shaft making it difficult or imposable to readjust or to remove if it is damaged and needs to be replaced.

Instead use any quality rubber cement such as Shelly's or Bostik. Put a small dab on the nock, push it into place, remove it until the glue drys to the touch, then replace it in the shaft. The rubber cement will hold the nock securely in place, but if you need to remove it a strong twist with pliers will break the bond and allow you to pull it from the shaft without difficulty.
