Crossbow bolt question

[scrub-buster]

I have several bolts that came with my WR Warrior. They have the flat nocks on them. I recently bought a used WR Invader and it says to use omni nocks on the side of it. The guy I bought it from was using half moon nocks. Is it safe to use the flat nocks? I have been shooting it with the half moon nocks he gave me. How hard is it to replace the flat nocks with omni nocks on the WR aluminum bolts? I tried to take one out and I couldn't get it to budge. I used a lighter to heat up the shaft a little and it still wouldn't move.

I don't know about aluminum bolt, but the nocks come out easily on my carbon bolts. I just twist with pliers to break the glue seal. I'm not sure that I'm seen an aluminum bolt. I sure like the idea of the half moon nocks.

The flats are probably safe, but would void the warranty. The Omnis are designed for extreme string angles which the Invader doesn't have.

I would not use moon nocks.


This is the way I remove nocks

You’ll need a “positioning tool” to install the Omni nocks. I think it comes with the nocks when you buy them.

Thanks. I guess I'll switch to the flat nock bolts that came with my warrior until I can order some omni nocks. Thanks for the video links Woody.
