Self Nocks

<< < (2/3) > >>

nugget:
Many of my cane shafts do not have a node near the nock. I wrap all of them, seal them with glue and shoot them. None of them have split yet. I usually do not plug them, but it will add extra insurance if you do.

Aosda:
Thanks for the replies.  I figured that piece of rawhide going across would act llike a plug and not weigh the back end too much.  I have a couple others with a plug in 'em.

nugget:
I would shoot those as they are and see how they flew. If they worked I would do more like them. Use what you have, and don't be afraid to try something new. Originally people did not have a guide to go by. Trial and error was how they figured it out.Roll with it and let us know how they worked.

Pat B:
Those wraps should work fine. Lots of good info above and like Nugget said, our obsession is about experimentation, trial and error and imagination, along with a dash of sharing! ;D

mullet:
 Those wraps will work. I would just support them with some good glue. If you aren't worried about being primitive, I'd just soak some Super Glue into the rawhide.
