Obtaining horn nocks

<< < (5/5)

majsnuff:
While doing an online search for horn arrow nocks, I found this thread. Thanks for all the info, I have changed my mind about the horn and will now be doing self nocks with sinew wrap and hardwood or rawhide inserts. Thanks again to all who posted.

FWIW, I made cane arrows with the nock up against a node for two years before somebody told me I really needed to wrap the nocks for safety.  I was shooting those unwrapped arrows out of bows that pulled 50 pounds.  I never had a problem.  I have had hardwood nocks split, probably due to a too large string.  Bill
