A Different Gold Tip Nock Problem/Question

The last time I shot carbon arrows, Easton ACC and ACE's were THE arrow to have. A lot has changed since then. But, anyway, I bought a dozen of the Gold Tip Trad's to use with my new longbow. I ended up getting bohning nocks for them. But, they were really loose in the shaft. I overcame this by putting them through a thin piece of plastic bag and then into the shaft and trimming the excess.

But, for future reference, which nocks actually fit, or how do you guys make them snug?

Thanks. I didn't see any GT nocks on the site when I ordered my shafts. I thought the Bohning nocks would work fine. I'll replace them eventually, although my plastic trick is working well.

:biglaugh:  Glad to see I'm not the only one. I thought about replacing the plastic with some teflon tape, but after thinking about it, I don't think it could work much better than the plastic. But, I would feel better if the nocks actually fit.
