Arizona EZ Fletch

[Keating]

For those of you folks using an Arizona EZ Fletch...
Seems the fletcher is designed to snap a nock in place in the base before use.
With xbow arrows, using only a flat nock insert, do you just rest the back of the arrow shaft in the base of the fletcher? Does this affect how far up the shaft you place the vanes? or do you slip a nock in there to glue up the vanes, then replace with the flat nock?

Just rest the flat nock against the base and close the arms. It will space the fletching just fine as-is.

Thanks!

I drop a 1/4" piece of pencil section into the EZ nock end to move the fletching back 1/4".
Just my preference.

Using the flat nocks that are drilled and tapped, I screw in a stub of a regular nock that has a screw the same size as the hole glued into it. Makes for a very stable fit. On the moon nocked arrows, I either remove the crossbow nock and substitute a regular nock that's shimmed to size with Gorilla tape; or, I use the moon nock as is then turn it to perfect alignment after fletching since it's hot-glued in.
