New Bow - Question on Carbon Arrows and nocks

[screamon demon]

So I have a somewhat stupid question. I bought a new bow this year and I have been firing arrows almost everyday. I bought a dozen Mayheim Carbon Express arrows. Yesterday I noticed that my nocks are not glued in at all. I can spin them with ease and even had one fall out.

I had been shooting an older bow with aluminum arrows for 20 years. This new equipment is all new to me. I wanted to ask on here (somewhat humbly) if these nocks are normal?

Thanks

I dont glue my nocks in. If they spin easily or fall out easily, buy some new ones and put them in. They are fairly cheap.

The reason I dont glue them is because nocks get broken sometimes and are easily replaced. If you glue them, and break them, the arrow is shot.

I havent heard of gluing nocks in place in a looooong time. They should be pressed in and remain pretty snug. If they are coming loos or spinning easily they need to be replaced, a loose knock will effect accuracy and worse a dry fire. Heck even years ago when I shot aluminum xx75 you got a nock tool to align the nock with the vanes.

Using carbon arrows, if you glue in the nock, your out that arrow if the nock breaks.
