FMJ nocks

I got myself a dozen nav FMJ's with G nocks fitted. they are a VERY nice arrow but 3 or 4 of the nocks are very loose to the point of falling out every time I loose them and spend extra time hunting for the nock. ( as if I dont spend enough time looking for misses) I first used cling film pushed in with the nock bot this looks a bit untidy with tiny bits of cling film sticking out between the nock and shaft. I know its not a major problem but it annoys me. I have just bought a set of inserts to hot glue in.
has anyone had similar problems

I have similar problems with Beiter nocks in my NAV FMJ's. I put a bit of beeswax on the shaft of the nock, insert it back into the shaft of the arrow and all is well

Pritstick
Plastic bag trick (push nock into arrowshaft through thin plastic carrier bag then tear off excess.

Both work to improve nock fit.

PTFE tape

(hook a strip over the end - rather than wind it round the insert - and push the nock into the shaft)

easily trimmed and cleaned up if you get any 'overspill'

A piece of dental floss or nocking thread inserted in the shaft, push in the nock and trim with a sharp blade.

Take a knife to the in-shaft bit of the G-nock and make a couple of small rough incisions... make it bumpy and will be tight as anything!
