Installing Lighted Nocks in Carbon Arrows

Folks,
How the heck do you get the nock out of a carbon bolt? I read a post for aluminum botls that suggested screwing a field point in the nock, heating the point with a torch, and using pliers to pull it out. Can I do the same for the carbon bolts.

end caps

I have a new crossbow with the bolts inlcuded. Do I need to place some kind of insert in the end of bolt before shooting? If so, where do I get them?
Thx

Re: re-string

Re: re-string setting

So when I restring the xbow I should put enough CCW twists using my right hand to get the string to line-up between thw two marks on the rail, correct?

re-string

Folks,
I just bought a Vortex crossbow and removed the string since I will not be shooting it until Sept. Do i need to twist the string when I re-install it? If so, how may times do I twist it?
Thanks,
Bear
