Nock glue

Post by Lucky-Dog »

I have my new arrows but I have to glue the nocks in place. What is a recommended glue that will stay in place. I might want to consider a glue that can be heated (carefully) and remove the nocks later if need be. I am more concerned with the nocks staying in place but thought I would mention both options.

I use Gorilla glue (blue top) for nocks, inserts and fletching and I'm very pleased with the results.

Use hot melt so you can change the dinged ones.........

If you are using the plastic nock , you can just press fit them in place. In the future if you plan on using a lighted nock you dont have to worry about getting the dried glue out of the shaft.

This all sounds great. Sounds like I don't need to worry if they are welded in place but rather just held in place. I like the hot glue idea because I already have some and the plastic nock idea sounds good.
Thanks for all the help.

I use hot melt glue, allowing me to change or reposition moon nocks, but use aluminum nocks exclusively. Having a bow disintegrate from a failed plastic nock taught me that.
