Stopped at a resale shop today. Walked out with case of old old target arrows. Now to restore them to semblence of their former glory!

One of nocks must be replaced. Hot water best 1st option for getting it off?

Nice find.  How old are those arrows?  It might be a good idea to replace all of the nocks.  Plastic can get brittle with age.

Nice find!  I would definitely replace all those plastic nocks and flex all the arrows to be sure none are cracked.

Have no idea on their age, Clint. A few of nocks are of more reent vintage. But most of them are quite thick plastic like nothing ya see today. And some of bullet points are like nothing of recent vintage.

Here's a few more images.

When I want to remove a nock I stick it in a target and shoot it off with another arrow.  Much faster than steaming it off  ;D

You can also try shooting them at a steel drum..... that will knock them off sometimes too also a good way to see if it's cracked anywhere  >:D Clint taught me that one

Hot pan of water good as 1st effort to get nocks off?

Mike .....I'm not sure water would be the best, the water will most likely swell the wood shafts.  If they were glued on with a heat sensitive glue a candle heating the plastic nock might work.  If they were glued on with epoxy/fletch tite, I have cut them off with a very sharp box cutter.  starting at the fletch end of the nock and cutting towards the string groove.  making sure not to cut too deep into the taper of the shaft.
Just and idea.....

Those are 50's, 60's. I'd cut all of the knocks off and replace them.
