Zombie inserts

[Fred T]

Factory Zombies?Mine came with press fit (no glue)

The plastic nocks work just fine.

Ha, ha... NOT asking about nocks but inserts. They come with 80 gr but I want to use 110 gr.

Doh Please excuse the blond moment.

Excused.... I did think they were press fit and have had no luck with any methods listed so far. I really thought the gun cleaning rod would work but I rapidly slid the bolt down the cleaning rod brace on against the floor about as hard as I could and nothing moved. I think I will have to just use them as is.

I would think that they were put in using super glue at the least. I have tried getting some factory glued nocks out using a rod with no luck. About all you can do is cut the arrow shorter and reinstall new inserts or shoot them as they are.

That's your safest option. If you compromise the shafts integrity near the insert and it comes apart, you might have a wounded animal or worse, an injured shooter. Having an arrow grenade on launch is a scary thought.
