Horn nock inserts

<< < (9/9)

WillS:
Possibly on some, but on others I think by the time I get down to clean unsplit wood I'll need to remove all the fletchings and such.  I think I'll chop off a bit of the end, and taper them to fit plastic nocks (blasphemy!) so that they're at least shootable.   I draw them to the head anyway, so losing more length would be a bit of a problem!!

Loki:
I've had a few break on me at the nock, from arrows i've made my self and from arrows made by others. I can only think it came from over use..?

WillS:
Mine were definitely down to me cutting the string nock too tightly.  I'm gonna try taping three hacksaw blades together and see if I get a better fit without having to muck about filing each one until they're ok.

Loki:
I found a tile saw to be the best thing for cutting nocks.
