From Ancient Horn to Modern Polymers
In the medieval era, "self-nocks" were cut directly into the wooden arrow shaft. To prevent the string from splitting the wood, bowyers often reinforced the tail with horn or bone inserts. Modern technology has replaced these materials with precision-moulded plastics that offer even greater durability and uniformity. A historical curiosity: The development of separate nock inserts revolutionized archery maintenance, allowing shooters to replace a broken nock in seconds without having to discard the entire arrow shaft.
Care and Safety Instructions
To keep your arrows flying straight and safely, please follow these guidelines:
- Before gluing, ensure the inside of the arrow shaft is clean and free of oils or old adhesive residue.
- Use specialized archery fletching glue or hot melt for a secure bond.
- Always inspect your nock adapters for stress fractures after a heavy session or if arrows have collided in the target.
- Do not use an adapter if it feels loose or shows signs of cracking, as it could lead to a dangerous dry-fire-like failure of the shaft.
