Self Nocks
« on: July 31, 2014, 11:55:00 PM »
My First try at self nocks. Used a walnut hardwood insert. They fly off the string like darts, express delivery for deer only.  
 
Surewood shafts are the best.

Nice reinforced self nocks, John. You will find them way more reliable that plastic nocks. I usually just make self nocks with a sinew wrap behind them but have also made reinforced self nocks(with hardwood and rawhide reinforcements)and never had a nock break. I sure can't say that about plastic nocks.

My goodness those are beautiful, excellent work and well done. Is there any way we could get a few more picks maybe a closer look at the nocks too.  :thumbsup:

Eastern Woodland style 2 fletch with hill cane and sourwood shoot arrows. All have sinew wrapped self nocks.
   

Ash, full tapered arrows with osage spined reinforced self nocks with sinew wrap.
   

Two and 3 fletched hill cane arrows with sinew wrapped self nocks.

I have been making a lot of reinforced self nocks the last few years too. I really like them.  They look better and are more reliable than plastic.
