I've done it with 1913's but there might be a better fit out there. My next set I'm planning on just using serving material wrapped tight and epoxied in place.

Kevin- It's an extra safeguard against the arrow splitting from the nock end.  If the arrow strikes something hard, like a rock, it could force the nock insert up into the back of the arrow.  The footing would make the arrows very durable.  

That's a good idea deadsmple.  Maybe I'll give that a go.

Any other experience with this would be very helpful.  Thanks guys, Matt
