I have to do a lot of sanding to get my GT nocks to fit. Is there a brand that has a wider fit?

I came from nothing and I brought it with me.

I use 18 strand B-50 and have always used Mercury speed nocks.

Javi- I live in Franklin, Texas, about an hour away.

I had a friend show me how to make strings with some B50. My bow is ff capable but We made two strings and I hate to see them go to waste, plus, I need to shoot some more, but I think I prefer the sound and feel of B50 on this bow.

16 strand B50 and Crown .018 serving is a perfect fit for Bohning Signature nocks.

Well if you want to run over here I've got the correct size serving material and jig... I'll watch while you do it or I'll reserve it for you.. I'll pm my number and you can call me any evening after 4pm so we can figure a good time to do this..

20 strands B50 and self nock... the perfect fit  :D

Why so many strands, 12 strands of B-50 will handle 60 plus pounds. I know guys say you need more but I shot 65-70 pound bows with B-50 and never had one break. Shawn

I put nock adapters in my Gold Tips, and glue Mercury nocks onto them.

And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend.

Easton Super 3D Nocks are larger than Bohning Super Nocks.

It makes my bow quieter and reduces the hand shock.
(that and quite heavy arrows)

BCY offers Halo as small as .014--depending on the strand count in your string, that might work.

I am shooting about 69 pounds with 18 strand, no silencers on string.  More strands and you can drop the sliencers. One less thing.  Shooint #4 serving nylon and 5/16 Classic nocks.

I shoot 70# with B50 and only 16 strands.  Have done this for 35 years with no problem.  Size down the serving as mentioned above.  I shot GT nocks without any problems.

Javi

I guess he got it fixed, cause he never showed up on my doorstep..  :D
