    So I emailed nockturnal nocks on their website and asked what size I needed for my easton aftermath arrows. After they told me I needed H nocks I went and bought a 3 pack. Got home put them in andddd they don't fit. Does anyone have easton aftermath arrows with nockturnal nocks in them?

    I used Aftermaths last year and couldn't get Nocturnals to fit these arrows. I too emailed Easton and they said Flash H sized nocks but I had no luck. Ended up buying Firenocks which where OK but more hassle and expense than I wanted.

    Going with CE Piledrivers this year and using the S sized Nockturnals that I still have.

    Are the ends to narrow and fall out or too fat and don't fit in the arrow? If they're fat you might be able to use a little 220 sand paper on them. Otherwise, I'd take them back to the store, tell or show them they don't fit and get your money back. Shame though, I use the GT's and they are great nocks.

    Yeah they are to fat. I jammed one down and it fit but it's crazy how much it takes to get them in

    If you don't want to take them back I'd try a little light sanding or using some string wax to insert. The nocks are awesome though. I can't think of any other options really.

    If you have to jam them in, roll the end of the nock with string wax. That should make them fit better! I couldn't get my x nocks into my FMJs until I put wax on them- then they fit perfect.
