Now THERE is something I never saw before! :eek:
In Snag's case, however, I think that Morrison of his is just too fast for his arrows. He should send it to me for safekeeping.

Yes, I've had plastic nocks break. I've never had a wrapped selfnock break though that I can remember. Jawge

No problems if you use a substantial arrow.

The last batch of 5/16" plastic nocks I ordered seem to be somewhat brittle (and more glassy looking) compared to the ones I've used in the past. But this actually helps me when a nock is hit while practicing. Just the ears break off instead of splitting the nock itself. But my shafts never ever split because of a simple thread wrap under the plastic nocks. Common thread coated with fletching glue is all it takes. -ART B

Misunderstood what you meant by the nock staying on the shaft. Definitely a nock failure!
We've had three Classic nocks break on us this year. Seeing this has me wondering how common it is with the Classics. Prior to the past year, I've always used Mercury with no problems.
Great Photo Ron! You must've been down here in Ohio!!! You know our Bucks are much tougher than those Wolva...Wolver... whatever those little rodents are in Michigan. :D

The only nocks I have had split were too tight on the string, causing the string to wedge itself into the nock at the shot. You might double check and see that your serving is not too tight in the nock.
good luck!
