The method of attachment reminded me of an unusual method, perhaps Persian, of nocking an arrow described in an old book.
They fitted the string with a sort of bead with a cone shaped plug that fit into a hole drilled in the base of the arrow.
A round bead with a concave mating surface was also used.
Theory is this made their spent arrows practically unuseable by an enemy.
Of course one might still fire these arrows using a pinch draw of the type used by some Native Americans who used nockless arrows.
Either way a pinch grip of some sort would be necessary to maintain control of the arrow while drawing.

Black Moshannon:
That pretty interesting. Luckily I don’t have to worry about anyone firing mine back at me lol. I glue those nocks inserts into the hollow arrow, or for the Surewood shaft arrows I made a hollow nock that glues on over.
