Glue for nocks
What glue do you use for attaching nocks to woods shafts?
I normally use fletch tight which has worked well for me but wonder if there's a better choice...

i use tarzans grip for glueing knocks and fletches
Re: Glue for nocks
Like Rod said in gluing up wooden arrows I also like to use Tarzan's Grip for both the fletching and nocks.
If timed correctly it slightly melts a small amount of the nock in making a truly strong bond.

Re: Glue for nocks
I use Locktite super glue gel for both nocks and fletches. It's very quick and easy to use and I've never had one fall off.
There is no use focusing on aiming if you don't execute the shot well enough to hit what your are aiming at.

Re: Glue for nocks
I use C23 hobby glue for all my feathers and noks. It's very cheap and bonds extremely well.

Re: Glue for nocks
5 min Araldite works a treat for the nocks and heads and I use a Loctite superglue or Selleys Quickfix for fletchings...
Dozen arrows done in an hour with these glues and they're rock solid.
