Howdy, I have been a lifelong conventional archery nut but am new to the crossbow game. I would like to know how to refletch flat nocked bolts that don't have the regular nock grooves to anchor them in an arrow fletching jig. If I need to buy a new jig or tool please advise which is your favorite and why? Any and all tips and tricks pertaining to that jig would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance. BB

PS: I will be refletching excalibur carbon firebolts with luminoks.

mattador is right i ran into the same problem my laser 2's fit and the laser 4's didnt i use the carbon express nock adapter it slips on the shaft like a slip on eraser does to a pencil and there inexpensive.

With a flat nock you don't need to index the nock. You just orient the arrow to where you want the cock vane and fletch it. If you are talking about the arrow not fitting the nock receiver you can also go to a archery shop a pick up a aluminum arrow nock that fits over the shaft and use it.
