Does anyone know if there is a replacement nock that would work with these shafts that has a .115" (2.92mm) throat size?  I primarily shoot wood arrows with Bohning Classic nocks and am too lazy to build a new string with a thinner serving.

For those who are interested and lazy like me, I did a little research and bought some Bohning Blazer nocks. They have a .120″ (3.05mm) throat size. I swapped them out and found that they work better than the stock S nocks on a string that is served to fit Classic nocks. My arrows are flying much better now and I can still shoot my cedar arrows from the same string.

Thanks Evan that's some good info.  Im in the same boat dont want to build specific strings for the new nock set up.. Thanks

Thanks Terry, found out Thursday my brother and I drew elk tags for Colorado, so these AOs will be in my quiver tipped with some blue Zwickey Deltas!

Orange, blue, and chartreuse, almost ready for Colorado, need to swap nocks out for some blue nockturnals.

Blue Zwickeys 🤩

Best of luck on your elk hunt!!!

Those arrows are awesome Jason.  Adding the blue Zwickey Deltas is just icing on the cake.  Great work and good luck this Fall.

New 2018 from 3 Rivers.

Shooting a 46# Ferguson Woodsman 2018 with 175 up front.

I like 2219 for most of my sticks and then 2215 for my lighter bows.  I know 2215 is not a popular shaft but would like to see it, tad lighter spine than 2117 and lighter weight.

Those arrows look sweet Stickbender! Myself, Knobby and a bunch of my buddies used to shoot these shafts. At the time we were just learning about arrow weight and spine. We usually ended up shooting 1916 cause they always flew the best.

Thanks guys!!!!  Varmint, I'll definitely be sharing pics if I get lucky, hopefully third time is the charm, been close, but wasn't able to close the deal.  Was able to have a good shooting session last night, but mandatory ot at my shop is getting in the way of my practicing.  I've let it be know that it's messing with my plans.

Good to see 3Rivers offering them again. I still have a test kit of the orange aluminum XX75's with the swaged nocks that I bought back in the 80's. I bought a few dozen of the orange and camo XX75's back then and still shoot them on some of my bows.

Well I got some 2018’s finally. Works great out of my Ramer.  I tried the Bohning signature nock in and it works. Not quite as tight as I’d like, but I’ve shot it a bunch without coming out.
