Thanks for the details RJ I'll pass them on to the guys at the shop. We where told that thewhole process was done in Mexico which turns people off of a product.Lets face it the last thing Mexico is knownfor is quality.

Guys, you really shouldn't be glueing in any nocks. You should be bagging them in. Hold the shaft fletch side up and hold a plastic bag over the open end of the shaft, then push the nock through the bag and into the back of the shaft. This will create a tight enough fit to prevent the nock from coming out, but it will also allow you to remove it easily if the nock is damaged, and also won't weaken the plastic of the nock because of a chemical reaction to the glue. That glue can make any nock very brittle and could easily make them weak.

Just an FYI.........

It's been found that vertain colored knocks break more often than other colors. I had yellow nocks break on me, but I've never had a green nock break.

I've never had an issue with them breaking. I always keep a bunch of extra nocks laying around. I change them a couple times during my summer practice sessions. They can get nicked up pretty good after shooting them for a while.

I've shot my fair share of Goldtips. I have shot the Hunter XTs and now the CAAs and I have never had one problem with their knocks. If anything they are better quality than most of the knocks you buy at Bass Pro and Cabelas.

You didn't pay top dollar. Don't expect it.

GT's are a weak, less expensive, pretty good arrow.

Folks just because its a gold tip arrow does not mean it has GT nocks on it. Many places buy arrows from vendors that put what they have available on them. The Nocks Im talking about actualy have GT on the side of them.
My Son has had several of them split for no reason.
