keekeerun:
mine come out to 5/16, I stopped there Hopefully I'll have pictures of my very first primitive arrow tommorow thanks again
Coo-wah-chobee:
Like Pat said about loose fittin'. Also up until about 20+ years ago even plastic nocks were loose fittin' called the mercury nocks I believe........bob
wvfknapper:
I like mine about 5/16 deep,, cut in with a small chainsaw file and loose fitting so there is no drag on the string upon release,, I use a bigger string nock locater on the string because I shoot three fingers under, never could shoot split finger for some reason even when I shot a training wheel bow.

Your weird Robert......... 3 under on a Compound or a Primitive........:o 8)
My Nocks are a 1/2 inch deep...and have barely any resistance on the String....just enough to keep it on the String ...if you lean the Bow foward....I cut mine in with a Bandsaw...and widen them a touch with a 6p Finish Nail with emery cloth on it...till they fit the way I like them
Pat B:
I like a loose fit for ease of stringing the arrow and no drag on release. When hunting I hold the arrow at the nock point with my right hand on the string or at the bow with my left hand. If you will notice on historical primitive arrows the arrow nock was usually shallow and with a loose fit. Deep nocks and snap fits are recent innovations. I prefer a deep nock for safety reasons...to help prevents me from dry firing. Pat
