Bob,I use the snap  on nocks from 3R page 36 top right.They are the only ones I use on my wood.

Kustom King has Bear Paw in 9 colors and only $1.10 per dozen and they are just a bit tighter then most nocks in the throat and much smaller and not much finger pinch that I notice! But then again I haven't much feeling in my fingers since I severed my hand back in 85 (Log splitter/hand seperator) ...Really I thought I would have some sort of trouble with finger pinch due to that reason but the Bear Paw have worked great for me...  :thumbsup:

Would building your serving up using dental floss be an option rather than changing out your nocks? A wrap or two would probably do it.   :help:

Build up the serving. It doesn't take much. The give and take of lost energy is more on the tighter nock side.

Like Keefer said you may want to try some Bear Paw.If you are needing 5/16 send me your address and I will send you a few to try.

I appreciate the advise. I shoot carbons and wood out of this bow switching often, is why I don't want to build up my serving. Afraid a snake,
thanks for the offer but I think I need 11/32 nocks.

I don't do snap on nocks. Serving comes in different diameters. I even used two layers of a smaller diameter to help with an extra small string.

If you heat up a tea kettle, wait until it is hot then hold the nock in the steam and pinch it, making sure it fits the string before it cools. Use a leather glove or pliers. Go easy and don't bend one side more than the other.

Depending on the color of the nock, the steam will dull the finish. Try a few and see how it works. I have used a hair dryer, but it takes longer. Optometrists have a heating unit to bend the plastic on glasses.

BOWMARKS

I use the AAE-Z nock they are normaly to tight so I have to sand a shade off. I use the 9/32 and 5/16 but no 11/32 I can send you some of the 5/16 if you like to try?
