Any suggestions for fixing broken self nocks?

ricktrojanowski:
Anyone have any ideas for fixing broken self nocks on Tonkin shafts.  I hit a couple and don't really want to part with the arrows.
Thanks for any advice
Rick

boo:
Trim it and make another nock. thats what i do. You may have to cut some of the quills off the back end of the fletching?  depending on how much room you had to start with.

scattershot:
You can either trim it like boo says or cut it off square and insert a wooden nock. You can make those by chucking up a piece of hardwood dowel in a drill and dressing one end down until you have a smaller diameter section to insert in the shaft, and then dress the outside portion to the diameter of the shaft and cut a new nock.
