Aluminium bolt nocks.

Hi,
I want to build some ali bolts to use for my Vortex, (2216/2219) and have previously used the ready made plastic nocked Excalibur bolts. I really want to use aluminium nocks. My question is, which aluminium nock inserts do you recommend? :?

The reasoning for this is that it is very much the archer...

New to forum

Just like to say `Hi` to all forum member`s from over here in England. Although i`ve just joined the forum i`ve been shooting Excalibur bows for quite a few years now.
