Nock Adapter for 29" Aluminium Arrows
Are you looking for a reliable way to ensure your nocks are perfectly seated for every shot? This nock adapter (also known as a nock insert) is an essential component for any archer using standard aluminium or duralumin arrows, such as the 29" (approx. 73.7 cm) models. The adapter acts as a precise interface between the hollow arrow shaft and the plastic nock. Its tapered design and durable construction ensure that the energy from the bowstring is transferred directly through the centre of the arrow, providing the consistency and accuracy you need, whether you are on the target range or participating in a historical re-enactment event.

Precision Flight Alignment: Nock Adapter for 29" Aluminium Arrows
Technical Specifications and Practical Use
Designed for effortless installation, this insert fits snugly into the hollow end of a duralumin shaft. The cylindrical body is pushed into the tube, leaving the conical tip exposed to provide a secure mounting point for your nock. While typically supplied in creamy white for a clean, traditional look, the colour may occasionally vary (e.g., silver/ALU finish) depending on international supplier availability. Rest assured, any colour variation does not affect the component's structural integrity or dimensions.

A Glimpse into Archery History
While this is a modern precision part, the concept of reinforcing the "tail" of an arrow dates back millennia. Historically, wooden arrow shafts were often reinforced with horn, bone, or hardwood inserts to prevent the powerful bowstring from splitting the shaft upon release. The legendary English Longbowmen used "horn nocks"—small slivers of horn glued into the nock end—to ensure their war arrows could withstand the massive draw weights of their bows. Today's aluminium shafts and these adapters are the high-tech evolution of that ancient search for durability and flight stability.
Maintenance and Safety Guidelines
To ensure your equipment remains in top condition, please follow these guidelines:
- Installation: Ensure the interior of the shaft is clean and dry before inserting. If the fit is loose, a small drop of appropriate adhesive for metal/plastic can be used to secure it.
- Regular Inspection: Always check your arrows for cracks or damage around the nock area after a hard impact. A damaged adapter can cause an unsafe shot or "dry fire" effect.
- Precautions: Do not expose these adapters to extreme heat, as the polymer may warp. Never force an adapter into a shaft with an incorrect diameter, as this could split or deform the aluminium tubing.
