Metal Arrow Nocks
jaxenro:
Of course a silver nock requires a silver point the collar and cuffs need to match
bigozzie:
I'm with Jax on this sterling nocks would require sterling points and therefore you can increase the weight forward to maintain the foc you like. I think more weight front and back would weaken spine some but likely minimally as to not affect the arrow recovery time. Sounds like a fun project. Please post picts. and results.

jaxenro:
I will. I have some drawn up to be cast will probably try bronze first as it is half the price of sterling. But since I make miniatures they probably wont tell you all that much about full size
Hawkdancer:
Jaxenro,
Brass is even cheaper! You can pick it up on the range👹 At least for modeling and testing! When you get it right - then go to lbs sterling😂 >:D. Not being a metallurgist, this is for a chuckle. Brass and tin make bronze? I'd like to see those points and your process. If you can make miniatures you can go full scale, nicks ain't that big. Does sound like a neat project, but needs a forge! I think

OPPs! Should read "nocks ain't that big"
