First Self Nock Arrows
« on: March 31, 2012, 02:00:00 AM »
Ive been building wood arrows for about 6 years and decided id like to start building self nocked arrows. I tried the nifty nocker but i wanted to do more than one at a time and have a fixture that would not be cut as easily by the saw blade.
I built this fixture out of heat treated S7 tool steel.
 
Here are a few of the first shafts i have finished.
POC with a purple heart insert.
