Those are incredible...

Are the nocks self nocks?  It's so difficult to tell.  A build-along on those (or the next batch) would be much appreciated!!

Hey guys!!  It's me, David's better half!!!  El D, I don't know about an Arrow Makin Goddess, but I try my best!!
Yes they are self knocks.  I really appreciate the compliments.  I try my best!!  David has been a big help to me.  If it wasn't for him, I would know NOTHING about building arrows.  He has taught me a lot over the years.  

Mullet!!   ;) :D ;D
