best nocks
« on: September 08, 2009, 07:42:00 PM »
Getting ready to build some new arrows for the two new Saluki bows that I have on order.
  Plan on using Sitka Spruce shafts.
  What do you guys think is the best/strongest glue on nock.   One of the bows is a Mughal crab style horn bow and will be in the 80# range the other in the 65# range is one of Lukas's Damascus horse bow styles.
 all the best,
 Oberon

I've been shooting the Bohning Classics for several years now without a hitch, but then I'm not shooting 80 lb.  The Nirk nocks always looked pretty beefy to me.  I think I still have some in my nock drawer.  Are you thinking 11/32 or 5/16?

Pretty sure that I am going to use Hildebrands shafts, and they have 23/64 up to 80#  with no taper and have 11/32 with a taper to 5/16 up to75# . I Am going to give them a call and see if they can supply the 23/64 with a taper as well.
 For the horn bow I have also thought of splicing a contrasting hard wood and doing  sinew or silk wrapped/reinforced self nocks for a dozen special arrows.

I've made a few dozen now and used the 5/16th Bear Paw nocks from Kustom King...$1.10 for a dozen and I have noticed "No Pinch" and have a very small indicator on them...They  come in Barred colors also...The green looks cool...You also get 5% off all orders off thier website...If you haven't tried the Bear Paw products give them a try...
