Any suggestions for fixing broken self nocks?
« on: October 12, 2009, 09:56:46 pm »
Anyone have any ideas for fixing broken self nocks on Tonkin shafts.  I hit a couple and don't really want to part with the arrows.
Thanks for any advice

Trim it and make another nock. thats what i do. You may have to cut some of the quills off the back end of the fletching?  depending on how much room you had to start with.

You can either trim it like boo says or cut it off square and insert a wooden nock. You can make those by chucking up a piece of hardwood dowel in a drill and dressing one end down until you have a smaller diameter section to insert in the shaft, and then dress the outside portion to the diameter of the shaft and cut a new nock.
