Title: GT Nocks - want to replace
Post by: BrownA5 on December 22, 2011, 12:18:00 PM

I just purchased a dozen GT 3555 and am looking for recommendations on replacement nocks.  Thanks!

I really like the newer Easton 3D Super Nocks.  They fit, are smaller in size than many others, and have been extrmemly durable for me.

I shoot longbows and recurves with GOLDTIPS and I prefer to use mercury speed nocks with an aluminum nock adaptors I order from black widow. If you happen to split a nock the pointed nock adaptor saves the arrow from spliting. I just like this style of nock they are very quick for a second follow up shot when useing a back quiver and with a dacron string they fit the servingon the string just about right.Just my preference, I am sure others on this site will have thier favorites nock type.

QAD Tune-a-nocks are great. they hold well and less serving/string thickness sensitive and if you flirt with Extreem FOC they only weigh 4.5gr (about half to a third of a standard nock) and can increase your FOC by almost 1% once you get around 30% FOC...doesn't have this dramatic effect at more traditionl FOC percentages.

I like the G knocks but they only work with an adapter. Don't know if the aluminum adapters are still avaliable. If not when I run out I will have to like something else.

Bohning signature x 3.  That is what I switched to and you can find them anywhere and get them in a lot of colors.

Guys the adapters you speak of. Would that include the clasic nock & T nock ? I checked and KK has them. This is what they say.

Detailed Description :
These nock inserts are designed so you can use glue-on nocks on your carbon arrows. 5/16" size fits most brands of carbon arrows (use 9/32" nocks).

So I wouldn't be able to use a 5/16 nock ?

Thanks guys; this input is very helpful>  I know some have never had a problem with GT nocks, but to me it is not worth a bow limb or worse!

I contacted GT and told them I there nocks were breaking and they sent me 3 Doz new nocks as the informed me they had addressed the material problem. What ever they changed it worked as I just did a bunch of stump shooting with them and no problem.

I also replaced mine with Bohning Signature nocks. They seem much sturdier.

TDHunter: Thanks for the tip on contacting Gold Tip.I sent them an email also. Maybe they'll send me some extras.   :)

Very nice arrows, and those look like they will hold up.

Bohning signatures seem to be getting the most votes.  Appreciate the input!

Speaking of holding up, which they are, it occurred to me that I have a slightly big rear... on the arrows... because they are collared abaft the fletches with a bit of 2117 aluminum shafting. This was painted over and has the arrow number dabbed on.

This probably gives the smoother transition to the nock.

Thanks for the kind words.
