self nock ?
Pat B:
Most of my self nocks are about 1/2" deep and most are loose fitting on the string. I have gotten to prefer loose fitting nocks to eliminate any resistance as the arrow pulls off the string. Pat
DBernier:
I'm with Pat B on this only because I cut mine 1/2 inch deep like Pat. I also line mine with 1/64 plywood for some added strength. I also wrap the nock end with artificial sinew. Its mainly because my bows range from 62# to 70#.

Hillbilly:
Usually 3/8". I've made them deeper and shallower, but 3/8" is a good happy medium. As long as they stay on your string and fly good, that's all that matters.

3/8 " deep and loose fittin...bob
lowell:
I kind of make mine grip the string. Would say mine are in the 3/8" area!!
Can the people that like loose fitting nocks tell what they feel the advantage is by making them loose fitting??? ???
