I am having a problem with the nock inserts coming loose in my Easton Fat Boy arrows. I have tried to super glue them, only to have it break loose if I have to adjust my nock. Does any one know of an adhesive that I can use to keep them from rotating when I adjust my nock? Or can I go with the plastic bag method like when using a pin nock insert? Is it crucial for safety that these stay attached, and are not removable? Thanks in advance for the help!

ive put superglue around the insertable part and let it dry without putting it in the arrow. the dry glue makes a layer to make it a bit thicker

Use the cheep plasic bags you get from Wally World at the check out. Hold it over shaft opening and then push the nock into the shaft. Trim the over hang. DBL it up if you need it tighter.

Or hot melt glue... won't shatter like super glues.

OK so with the hot melt, how do I heat up the inserts without melting the nocks that are stuck in them? And with the bags, how would i change the nock to a different color without having an extra set of inserts? Uggghhh this is becoming quite a pain in my booty!

you could also put some Scotch tape around the nock. But, before you do all of this, look at the arrow shaft and make sure it doesn't have small cracks in them. When you shoot something hard with those arrows, the nock can drive the back end hard enough to split it. That's why I use Carbon Express with bulldog collars. Problem solved.

The arrows are fine, just the inserts come lose when I try to change nock colors, or adjust them after refletching.

Just heat the glue stick apply to the insert... may have to work fast.

I use unibushings and G-nocks in my GT shafts.
I epoxy the unibushing in the shaft, being careful to center unibushing.
Permanent fix.

Epoxy will be much more forgiving than hotmelt, not as brittle as quicksets
