Title: Aluminum arrow question
Post by: Bowsey Wails on August 05, 2024, 08:14:07 PM

I've been going through a bunch of inherited arrows in various stages of disrepair. A couple of 2216's had broken nocks. Removed them easily with my burner. The swages are nylon or plastic? Does anyone know what adhesive to use with these swages? Is hot melt okay? I don't want a permanent "weld".

Fletch Tite. If you need to remove, soak in acetone. Those nylon swages will snap if you hit something firm. If they break may be able to get it out and replace it with an aluminum one or switch it to uninock. I love those old shafts
