now this might be a dumb question but what is the difference between this and superglue?
Basically the same thing except for thickness. I use the Loctite Control Gel Super Glue. It keeps me from making a mess all over myself. That said, I do use Goat Tuff now and again for feathers and long, wide-based vanes. Whatever you choose, make sure that it's relatively fresh for the best holding; six month old glue is generally destabilized to the point that a vane may or may not stick.
Be careful heating to remove! There's a damn good chance that you can damage the composites in the carbon and end up with a seriously weakened arrow that could shatter on release and put you in the hospital. The easier way to remove an insert is to put a small drill bit inside the arrow and swing it hard to knock the insert out. Make sure to do it in a safe area, though, because it can come out violently.

First I used a swiss army knife which has the reamer with sewing eye to scrape away the innards just enough so that I could fit in my round file. Then I used a round file (the ones I used to create the string nocks on the bows I have been working on) which I pushed in just enough to grab the leftovers of the nock. I twisted it slightly to get grip and then pulled outwards.

It's not wrong and does not mean an archer is less accurate because they glue nocks. There is clearly a number of people doing it for whatever reasons. You don't have to agree with them. Just like I don't agree with anyone else's styles. Why would someone imply that if I use glue I am potentially unethical because I will not be able to harvest an animal due to the inherent inaccuracies? That's just a load of garbage in my book. People have been harvesting animals with primitive arrows and glued nocks for ages.
How do I re-align my nock? This problem is solved. I put in the exact same spot in my fletching jig. In fact it makes it even easier when refletching because the nock is glued. My accuracy is not a problem. You can come shoot my bows side by side with me any time. We'll see who hits the bullseye more with my arrows and with yours. Also, you may not have had any nocks fall out but this gluing gives me comfort which obviously your word does not.
I could ask someone why they need rangefinders too. :o :chuckle: How about whisker biscuits?
Talk about petty. :dunno: :chuckle: When the moment arrives I'll get r' done with glue.

i got 5 cold ones saying that xXx will get more bullseyes!!!!..
...only 5 cuz i already drank the other one :hello:
Yeah. With MY bows. These bows don't have sights.
I don't drink beer. You can keep the King Cobras for yourself.
Let me know when you're in town. We'll do it. I'm not normally competitive but with my equipment I think you'll find that gluing a nock is not going to matter one bit as much as yourself being tuned the particular bow. I'll make sure to bring along an english longbow too. Shooting right off the hand is fun.
