Nock size?

[wisconsinteacher]

Is it okay to have 9/32 nocks on 1916 shafts?  There is exposed aluminum seen where the nock does not go all the way down to the paint on my Legacy arrows.  Should I go up a size?

I shoot the 9/32 nock on my 1918 shafts and have no problems. Have also used the 5/16 nock and no problems there either.

On Easton's 2005 catalog I have, the nocks for a 1916 are listed for 9/32".

Okay what about the ring of unpainted aluminum?  Sharpie over it?

[BOWMARKS]

Why??

[wisconsinteacher]

I guess it does not look the best in my eyes with a white nock and wrap to have a metal ring in the middle of it.  OCD on my part.

I only use 9/32 nocks on my 1916 Legacy's.  They work great (indoor shooting, 3D, stump shooting). I don't worry about the exposed aluminum on the exposed taper.

Yes, black it out if it bothers you.  If it bothers the deer, you've let it get waaaaay too close and I want to know your scent control secret!
