Aluminum Experts a ?

I have two arrows nth of which are Easton XX75 Camo Hunters.  On has a glued on nock and the other has an insert and push in nock.  Is the one with the push in nock a later version.  I was given a bunch of XX75's but there are all different.

Yes, the ones with the bushings and adjustable nocks are the newer versions.

Thanks.  I suspect I can get bushings and convert my older models.

Never tried it, but  I don't see why you couldn't cut the taper off and insert a bushing.

No need to convert to the push in nock system. There's nothing wrong with the glue on types. The nocks are tons cheaper and you don't need the Uni bushing

Yes you can as long as you have enough length to cut off the taper.

I realize there is nothing wrong with those nocks but I just don't like them.

Contacted 3Rivers and they have the bushings in stock.

If you decide to use standard nocks get ones that fit better. If the pic is correct the nock looks to big for shaft. You should see a very slight line of bare shaft when you put nock on. Also feel the shaft and see if it is tapered at the nock end. Later versions of the AO are like this. If size is like 2114 or 2117 with the taper I use 5/16 nocks.
If you decide to cut and use the push in nocks you should call and talk to them and make sure the inserts fit your shafts. With carbon being the most sold shafts now the alum shaft supplies has narrowed in scope.
