Value of nock adapters for carbon arrows

Hi All
Have just been doing a bit of my usual evening practice and blew of a nock .I have been shooting Goldtip traditional 3555/s for years now and putting these aluminium nock adapters from 3Rivers in the back of them and using Arizona Z nocks.

I am well into my second bag of one hundred nock adapters and nocks and the following photo's will show why I love the adapters because it would have been a dead arrow using the standard supplied push in nocks.

They would be a waste of money for me Matt, for the same reason a 3d target with a replaceable vital zone would be a waste of money for me.
There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.
