how can I keep nocks from blowing out of carbon shafts when stumping?

[Bud B.]

Maybe switch to Bohning Signature nocks? I have and none have broken so far.

GT nocks are notorious for popping out or breaking off flush with the shaft. If you are using GT nocks contact them and they will replace them with ones made of better material. Glueing in will not stop them from breaking off flush with the end. You are doing the best thing for now, carry a screw and extra nocks.

I like plumber's tape around the nock insert and push it in.  What is causing it is the nock is getting launched back out of the end when hard contact is made.  Make it tighter and problem is fixed. God Bless

I had read a similar tip earlier in the thread.  Thanks to both!  I'll try it out and see what happens.
