My First Full Set of Arrows
AncientArcher76:
I like them arrows nice work! As far as the nocks I use hardwood so I dont have the problem of that happening. Just a thought maybe try heat treating them may work or try using a compression block.

One comment, and I am far from an expert, so you other guys chime in.........should you reinforce the nocks with thread wrap too? I had one nock blow out of a hemlock arrow and i didn't like it...

I've done some shoot arrows and also some from hard maple without wrapping and never had one blow. But maybe I'm just lucky. I would think as long as you don't have any grain runouts you should be fine. Hemlock always seems like it's prone to splintering to me, so maybe it was just the wood? I've never used it though, so just speculating.
But anyway, nice arrows dmass. I think you're being too modest; they look really good to me!! 8)

Thanks a lot! The thread on some of the arrows is already starting to break and come loose. Any suggestions on a stronger thread to use?
