White Plastic Half-Moon Nock for Carbon Arrows MK-CA30-NK, 7.45mm

Technical Parameters and Specifications

This component is crucial for transferring energy from your crossbow or bow directly into the arrow. In the following table, you will find the precise data:

How to Properly Use and Install the Nock

The nock serves to securely hold the arrow on the string. The MK-CA30-NK model is a "press-fit" type, meaning it is simply pushed into the arrow shaft under pressure. Before installation, ensure the inside of the shaft is clean and free from glue residue or debris. Insert the nock so that the string groove is perfectly aligned with the index vane of your arrow. Correct alignment is critical for shooting accuracy and the longevity of your bowstring.

When and Why Do You Need This Product?

The nock is the most stressed part of the arrow. With every shot, the string strikes it with immense force. Over time, material fatigue or micro-cracks can occur, especially if you shoot into harder targets. Regular nock replacement is the cheapest prevention against string damage or even a "dry fire," which could destroy your crossbow. The white colour also helps you find the arrow more easily in the grass or at dusk.

Interesting Archery Fact

Did you know that for modern recurve and compound crossbows, the shape of the nock plays a vital role in safety? The half-moon shape ensures that the string does not slip under or over the arrow during the shot, which would lead to a fatal failure of the weapon.

Product Care and Warnings

* Inspection: Visually check the nock for cracks or deformations before every shot. * Cleaning: If the nock is dirty, wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not use aggressive solvents that could weaken the plastic. * What to Avoid: Never try to hammer the nock into the arrow. If it fits too tightly, lightly sand it with fine-grit sandpaper. Never shoot an arrow with a cracked nock! There is a risk of serious injury and damage to the crossbow.

Recommended Accessories

To keep your gear complete, we recommend getting bowstring wax to reduce friction in the nock groove and an arrow puller to make handling easier during practice. If you build your own arrows, don't forget high-quality fletching glue and spare carbon shafts.
