    Forgive me, I have next to zero experience with Gold Tip arrows......Do Easton Super nocks and Bohning signature nocks fit?

    If the inside diameter of the arrows those nocks fit is the .244-.246 in range then yes.

    mobow, which Gold tips are ya shooting?

    .244 vs .246 can be a bigger difference than you think
    If you are shooting the XT Hunter or the Pro Hunter, you will be ok and I actually prefer the Bohning Double lock nock in them. But to illistrate my earlier point. The GT CAA is .244 I believe and it will crack your arrow if you tried to stuff esp. a XT or PH pin nock busing in them. Anyhow, I have some experience with GT, which arrow ya shooting and I can help I am sure.


    Edit. the CAAs are .242 at least my spined ones are .244 may be ok you if you are using the Bohning press fit style. either way good luck and pm me if you need help.

    I think this question was directed by Mobow regarding my arrows. I was asking if he had some red nocks for my GT Pro Hunters lying around at the shop he works at. I know he was trying to find an alternate route to the GT nocks.

    Anyways, I have CAA's as well, just have pin nocks on them instead.

    I know the 400 spine CAA's have a smaller inside diameter than the Gold Tip .246 shafts. I learned this lesson when the company I ordered 20 grain insert weights sent me the .246 weights instead of the CAA's. Sure enough, wouldn't clear the aluminum wall.

    Unless mobow wanted this information for his own brain, I appreciate the replies.

    Out of curiosity - is there a reason you want to get away from the standard GT nocks?

    He doesn't. He was just exploring options and we aren't a GT dealer so we don't have any GT nocks at the shop. We do, however, have a bunch of Super Nocks, so I was just curious if those work or not. Since I will see him next week I was just gonna grab some and give them to him......But, alas......we don't have the color he wants so......it's kind of a moot point now.
