    So I bought some Nocturnal S nocks today for my Carbon Express Mayham arrows and they seem to be lose. A lot more lose then the nocks that are original to the shafts. I have shot them and they don't come out when being shot or when they hit the target but just seem very lose. Is this normal and if so Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!!

    Are your arrows new or used? Did you install them or did your pro shop?

    My arrows are very used and I did install them myself. All I done was remove the original nock and put the Nocturnal in. Now that I think about it since they are my practice arrows and I have shot them hundreds of times could that cause them to be lose? I am getting new arrows in the next little bit to hunt with so would they be better fitted in those shafts? Like I said they didn't don't pop out when shooting or hitting the target they are just sort of of lose and it kind of bugs me out.

    You can make them tighter by using some plastic wrap that you cover food with. Just cut pieces and wrap the part that slides into the arrow shaft. It will tighten them up.
