I'm installing n-nocks for the first time (ok, I'm stuck in the 1960s/70s (thank God!)). I don't like the idea that they can turn.

I want to glue them into the uni-bushing. I understand that you should not use glues containing MEK i.e. most fletching cements.

What glues do you recoomend to glue in n-nocks?

Thank you,

Eric

I would not glue them. They won't turn unless you want them to.

I don't care to turn them - all my previous shafts only accommodated qglue on nocks. One less thing to go wrong like the nock turning.

FWIW.... I've been shooting push-in nocks for probably 15 years or more now; don't know that I've ever really had one turn on me.

Cut 1" squares out of plastic shopping bag and put over the end and install. That will tighten them up then if needed you can easily remove.Tear off excess bag. Good luck.
