I use 5/16 on my 1916's. I get a better feel with the slightly larger nock. The fit is perfect.

I was hoping someone would say that. My Arizona 9/32 that I have for my 1916 Blues arrows are too small,terrible fit.

The Arizona Z nock does have a small throat.For a 9/32" I like American/BJ nocks,they have a larger throat and fit my strings great.

Another good option, is the 9/32"s Marco Snap Nock.  I recently had the same challenge.

i got them Mike at the Nocking Point.  They work well and have a nice fit.

Nocking Point is a sponsor here as well.

use a 9/32 speed nock unless you need the nock to snap on to your string.

I use the Arizona 5/16 nock or a Legend 5/16 on my 1918's-works great.

It's all about your serving are you using a 12 ,14 or 16 strand string? Get your hands on as many different 9/32 and 5/16 and see what works for you. Thats what i have done. It worked for me.

I like the Bear Paw nocks also Keefer. Not as tight as a Snap-on and they come off the shaft in the same line as the shaft. Really a nice fit!

Just was putting some together. I like the way the Bohning classic fits in 5/16. Also the snap nocks in 5/16 work well. I have the Z nocks in 9/32. They leave a small amount of the tapper visable. Any way I like the classic the best. But all 3 will work.

I like the Marco nocks also in either 9/32" or 5/16". 3Rivers sells them in 5/16", and Black Widow has both.
If it's in your way, move it.

A Bohning Classic 5/16th or Mercury and some blue finish cutting 120 grit sand paper.  Gently sand them to shorten them up and they fit 1918s with no excess overlap past the shaft.  I take  the edge back a bit on the outside as well.  It takes just a few strokes.
