Selfnock index?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Pat B:
For reinforced self nocks you can leave the spline a bit proud on the cock feather side.

Traxx:
Im a bit confused by the question as well as the replies.On wood shafts,you need to cut the nock across the ring lines for safety.So...That will orientate the stiff side to the bow,automatically.Also,with a 2 fletch arrow,there is no need for an indexer,as you can nock them either way.

Pat B:
Traxx, I use mostly cane and hardwood shoots for my arrows so the stiff side is chosen and that side goes against the bow.   With store bought shafting a reinforced self nock has the spline inserted across the grain so the orientation you mentioned is utilized.

Traxx:
HMMM,
All the splined Self nocks i make,i put the spline along the same plane as the grain,because i cut the nock across it.But,with Cane or shoots,you select the stiff side and cut the nock acordingly,Correct?Then,the nock is still cut when a person fletches,with 2 fletch.Still,i dont see the need for an indexer to locate the nock on the string properly.Now with a 3 fletch,i can see it,but the original poster stated he intended to fletch with 2.Am i missing something here still?

Pat B:
You should still have the stiff side against the bow even with two fletch. I generally don't index arrows but I have before.
