Inserts For Self-nocks??

 Loki;

 I can see an advantage with the Buffalo horn wedge over a straight horn nock. I've quit using a horn nock by itself. I've had several break on me. Luckly, I haven't lost a bow, but the string slap on the arm really sucked wind.

ken75:
hey jerry I've enjoyed your pictures for years !!, and i don't mean to cut in but does the weight of the horn nock have any adverse effects on flight ?

Muina:
I haven't built any arrows in a while, but I usedto use horn for the inserts. They work brilliantly, and I never saw any affect on the arrow flight.

As for commercially produced inserts, I got some from ebay really cheap a couple of years ago but I don't know if they're still on there. Also try Richard Head Longbows and I think Flybow sell them?
