Precision Red Nock for Man Kung 30-Inch Aluminum Arrows – MK-AAL30-NK (1pc)

Secure Snap-On Performance

The nock is the vital interface between your bow and your arrow. These plastic tips are engineered to provide a positive click onto the string, holding the arrow in place even when the bow is tilted. They are specifically shaped to fit the rear of Man Kung aluminum shafts. To ensure your safety and the longevity of the arrow, these nocks must be properly secured using a specialized archery glue. This prevents the nock from flying off or twisting during the high-acceleration phase of the shot.

Technical Specifications

A Quick History of the Arrow Nock

Historically, nocks weren't separate attachments. Ancient archers used "self-nocks," which were grooves cut directly into the wooden arrow shaft. To prevent the string from splitting the wood, these grooves were often reinforced with slips of bone or horn. Interestingly, in English longbow tradition, horn nocks became a mark of high-quality craftsmanship. Modern replaceable plastic nocks like these revolutionized the sport, allowing for easy repairs and ensuring that every arrow in your quiver has an identical contact point with the string, regardless of the shaft's material.

Maintenance and Safety Guidelines

Always inspect your nocks for cracks or stress marks before shooting. If a nock feels loose or shows signs of wear, replace it immediately. Shooting with a damaged nock can lead to a "dry fire" scenario, which can shatter the arrow and potentially damage your bow limbs or cause serious injury. Keep your nocks clean of dirt and debris. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or high-heat environments, as UV rays and heat can degrade the plastic over time, making it brittle.
