Nock thoughts - Boo

aero86:
as some of the wrappings on my arrows have come loose under the nocks :-\ they have yet to split, and that are all no where near a node.  this is using 40lb and 45lb bows.  heavier bows maybe.  the next set of 6 i make, im going to put wood inserts in and not wrap the nocks.

Wasn't even thinking of same diameter! Glad you brought it up.
Seems the combined offset / diameter may drive one nuts trying to get a decent tune.  ;)
I'll keep it in mind. Thanks.

I'm a "tinkerer" from way back.  ;) Only we call it "Puttering around". ;D
Some consider it signs of a bored / deranged mind though.  :-\ ;D

Aero-
Almost to the point where I've got to take the dogs to the woods to gather pine crystals.  ;)

Thanks for the replies guys. Appreciated muchly.

I cut my nocks wherever my spine tester tells me too, and have shot them for a while now without wrapping them and have had no problems at all.  If it's fairly thick walled boo, and you have a good flat to slightly rounded bottom in the groove...it'll hold.  Wrapping helps out alot when you hit it with another arrow though.

Pdwight:
total newbie has a question, how does the spine tester tell you where to cut the nock ??

Thanks
Dwight

stringstretcher:
Dwight.  When you are spineing and arrow, you can slide it back and forth to get the spine you want.  On Cane, moving from the smaller end to the larger end will increase spine.  so you can cut your shaft at the spine you need.
