That depends on what arrows you are using. Some are glued in and can be very hard to get out. Others are press fit and change out easily. I use Black Eagle arrows and all my nocks are press fit.Any comment on using aluminum.
I always shot Easton aluminum in my compound bow.
Still new to crossbow . Centerpoint 370 Sniper (still in process of some upgrades)
Not really liking the carbon bolts, any comment on using aluminum.
It was a 2 min fix to replace a broken nock.
From what I'm reading changing
a broken nock on carbon can be a pain.
Thanks
Thanks the xx75's were the ones i was looking at thanksI shoot aluminum off my bows. Easton XX 75's, 2219. Sure are a lot cheaper than carbon. I can get a half dozen for about $ 30.00.
To me, they're just as good as carbon arrows and easier to work on.
Thanks Trailcamguy for the infoAs far as removing the nock on a carbon arrow I have found that a steel rod about 4ft long and 1/8 inch in diameter will fit thru the hole in the the arrow insert and repeated blows from the edge of a small hammer usually will dislodge the nock, sometimes quite easily.
I have also positioned the rod on a hard, flat surface and slid the arrow shaft, sometimes quite forceably, up and down on the rod to dislodge the nock.
If the rod goes thru the nock before it has dislodged I remove the rod and thread an appropriately sized self tapping screw into the hole in the nock and repeat one or both of the procedures described above.
Only as a last resort do I try to drill a plastic nock out because I usually end up distorting or melting the shaft rendering the arrow shaft useless unless one has a quality cutoff saw and arrow squaring device, neither of which I own or want to.
Thanks Joe Pa, thats is my exact thinking I made my own arrows for vertical without any problems.I have both. The plus side of aluminum is, they are very easy to cut with just a tubing cutter, less expensive, easy to process from bare shafts for yourself, compared to carbon. They are consistent arrows. You still need quality nocks. On the minus side, I've found the XX75, 2219 Magnums are a little more prone to bend than I thought they'd be. I did shoot 3D with mine. They tended to get nock end bends, not a lot, but easily seen on a spinner. The XX75 camo shafts I have held up much better and still spin straight. Don't know what the difference is. Also, with my RDX bow, using moon nocks, the aluminum grooves quickly down through the anodizing. With carbon, the grooving is still an issue, but the carbon seems much more resistant. As others have said, most nocks for carbon arrows are press in, and they can be removed and replaced easily. Inserts are a different matter.
Thanks,with the consensus on them going to be ordering some XX75 2219Easton XX75 2219 in camo is my preferred arrow material.
