    I just purchased six new CE maxima 350 arrows and they come with the Bohing signature nock. I noticed while shooting that they are extremely tight when being inserted on the string. From all indications they have not affected arrow flight, but it is still a concern. My other arrows have the same nocks and they fit alot nicer onto the string. Should I be concerned about this? As tight as it inserts onto the string I would surely think it would effect arrow flight a little bit, but as stated, I have not seen a difference.

    I would file some of the material out to make it fit easier but don't go over board.

    Just boil some water and put your nock end of the arrow in the water , get your nock hot and snap it on your string and let it cool down before you take it back off , that will do the trick......:tu:

    Thanks fellow hoosier! That is the same principle as boiling a mouth piece and then biting into it so it is formed perfect for you. I have done that many times and never even thought to do it on the nocks. Thanks again :rock:
