Had another one blow out on me today. I'm not shooting anymore until the Bohnings get here.

The GT nocks I've used so far absolutely suck for some reason. I don't remember having those problems shooting them out of a compound. They were solid black nocks then though, these are the flo. green ones.

I had a solid black one give out causing a dry fire (bow was fine...wish I could say the same about my arm!). Have since traded all of em out with Bohning Signature nocks and haven't had any more issues!

I replace all of my GT shafts nocks with Bohning Signature nocks. I NEVER shoot the GT nocks, don't want to even think about having a dry fire, or bow BLOW UP because of a small inexpensive piece of plastic that can be replaced very easily. Just my $.02.

Have had three dry fires on my Widow with Gt flo's.
Switched to Bohning and results pending.

i wont shoot goldtip arrows any more, i had the same problem out of several dozen. for each 12 i would have to have 3 or 4 dozen nocks. every color i have tried.

I would like to hear Goldtip's reply to your letter Bud. Good to know they are doing something about this....

Yikes! All I shoot is GT. I have not had issues with my nocks breaking but am worried about it now.

Scary stuff !!!

I have a bunch turning up this week , but I'll switch out these nocks before I shoot them.

Thanks for the heads up.

I have to say though,the Gold Tips have held up extremely well for me.

Mike VanBuren · « **Reply #30 on:** September 07, 2011, 08:09:00 PM »

I quit shooting them a month ago when 4 out of a dozen broke on the shot. They were fl green. I switched to my Bemans until I get more nocks.

KSdan · « **Reply #31 on:** September 07, 2011, 08:36:00 PM »

Yup- I posted sometime back here (past months). I too had problems with solid whites and flor breaking. A couple of dry fires. . . ouch!

Going to signature nocks on advice of others.

I personally like 'em. Yes, I've had about a 7-8 break (and yes, I figure that more than half were due to my fault).

If folks want to send their "throw aways / discards" this way... heck, I'll take 'em! I'd love to get more WHITE and Yellow GT nocks.

David

P.S. As long as I have 'em in my box, I'll mail out (on a one for one basis) my unused Easton Super Uni-nocks.

Regards!

I have had nothing but problems with them. I shoot them until they break, then switch them out for super nocks, but I have never had one break during my shot. maybe I will just ditch them right away, so I dont end up needing new limbs when they cause a dry fire.

All I can say is "what can you expect coming from Mexico"?

Sorry troy, but all carbons except the Arrow dynamics come from other countries.

I went to pin nocks on my gt arrows you need to try them...

longbowben · « **Reply #37 on:** September 08, 2011, 07:44:00 AM »

Never had any break except when i hit them with another arrow.And that's the only arrows i shoot.

stevewills · « **Reply #38 on:** September 08, 2011, 09:52:00 AM »

um eastons are still made in the usa.i just talked to a rep and i asked why they were being made elsewhere and he said it was all rumors..

Rob W. · « **Reply #39 on:** September 08, 2011, 07:00:00 PM »

When I posted yesterday I had not broken one yet. Ordered Bohnings to be safe. Third shot into my bag target today I had a white one break in the shaft when another arrows fletching rattled it. Not a mark on the nock. These arrows have been shot very little. I'm going to wait for the Bohnings!
