I've never had good tensile strength out of hot glue. Nocks take a heck of a beating on release. If your nock comes unglued on release, it's in effect, a dry fire. Not worth the chance to me.

I have used the hot melt in a pinch but it isn't the best practice as Kirk said.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
