Nirk Nocks?
« on: August 25, 2012, 11:17:00 PM »
All,

make a new batch of shafts and decided to give nirk nocks a go.  I really like the way they look and fit the string.  It also seems like they have less finger pinch.  The bad news is that I have already had to replace two of them due to splitting.  Is anyone else having this problem?

I have had several white nirk nocks give up the ghost on me, resulting in dry fires. Luckily no harm to my bows. I would toss them. Hap

I've heard this problem before. I guess it was only with the solid ( non see thru) colors. Plastic was softer.

I have the white nirk nocks on my Easton Classic alloy shafts without any issues at all.

I put some Chartruese Green ones on some shafts had the same problem with them splitting! This color seemed to be brittle!

what are you guys using to glue them one?  I wonder if it has anything to do with Duco cement?

I have had white ones fail, but not black or any other color.
If it's in your way, move it.

I use them on all my wood arrows and have never had a problem. I use Duco to adhere them to the shaft.
