I ordered some raw shafts and they just arrived by FedEx
(Beman bowhunter's 340-s)
I ordered raw shafts because I am doing my own fletching now. Well they got something backwards and glued the nocks in, and left the inserts loose. Supposed to have the inserts glued in and the nocks loose. :wacko
Is there a way I can get the nock out without damaging it, or the arrow? I have heard you can slightly heat them up and it will loosen the glue up. Not really sure why they are glued in as I have never glued a nock in since I started shooting carbon arrows 10 years ago
I would definately be more worried about the arrow. I am no expert with carbons, but if no one has a good solution. I would bring some water up to a boiling. Than hold in the water until the nock loosened. This will work I have done it because I was not sure how a torch, or direct flame would effect a carbon arrow.
You might want to call Brittons.
Not positive. I just know I cannot turn them by hand. I like to be able to turn them because I shoot a hostage pro rest, where the fletchings are required to miss the bristles.If I can't loosen them I will consider returning them. I ordered from Hunters friend. They were cheaper by far than anyone I found, even local
I do my own arrows also and I always heat them up with a bic to loosen the inserts so I can tune them. I don't know if it's the right way to do it but that's the way I do it. I need to get some viens and start puting my arrows together I thinjk I have about a dozen that need rebuilt.
Well
I've had enough Miller Lite's, so I decided it was time to break out the pliers on my brand new arrows. The nocks are in there, not glued but just extremely tight. I did go up 1 spine size for this year, so that may be the difference
