a friend just quit xbow hunting and he gave me(among other things) about 60 bolts-all w/ half moon nocks. i have a excal exocet which requires flat nocks. these are carbon bolts. can they be heated or can i cut right thru them w/ a saw? i ask this to my proshop employee and he said he could not cut off the half moon nocks. i dont know if this is tru or if he didnt want to do it. ive heard or read that you can slowly heat the HF nocksand pull off w/ pliers. not sure if this is correct. thanks
nock change question

First of all, you can use the moon nock on an Excalibur. You just have to make sure that you load the bolt correctly, i.e. with the cock feather/vane down, so that the string fits into the notch of the nock.
If you choose/wish to remove them, than yes you can try to heat them up, but have to use an indirect (not open flame) heat source, like a blower dryer. Personally, I would not recommend to do it.
The easiest method/solution is to "grind" the moon nocks flat, using a benchgrinder. That's what I did.

ONe thing that worked for me, and was suggested by another member on this forum sometime back. If you can remove the insert at the front in the conventional manner, stick a drill bit, or some other piece of metal such as it is less than the ID of the shaft, inside the shaft. Hold the shaft vertical at the end where you just removed the insert, and "whip" the shaft back and forth, or up and down if you wish. The force of the drill bit hitting the nock should pop it loose. This has worked for me, if the nock isn't "welded" into the end of the shaft with some strong epoxy. Some have popped out, others popped enough for me to pull it out. Anyway, hope this helps.

nocks
i wanted the pro shop to cut them off but i got that look from the owner. i would of paid greatly for that service but he siad that the hf nocks extend up thru the shaft(or something like that). i will try the boiling water or hair dryer to see how much trouble it is.
