nock removal

[narrowboat]

this may sound stupid but hey thats me,how do you remove the nocks from acc,s is there a easy way,i havent tried yet thought i would ask you guys first

Ermm... grasp between thumb and forefinger and pull (unless they're firmly glued in, in which case... good luck!)

If the nocks broken I've found the best way is to get an old Allen key, heat it up and push it into the nock. Wait till it cools down then use some pliers and just pull it out

Assuming that you are using g-nocks, you can get a neat little plastic tool to turn them. Once they are turning, you can pretty much draw them out. Doesn't work if they're broken, though. Then use pliers and an arrow puller to hold the arrow.

Don't pull it with a bare hand on the arrow, though. Getting those tiny carbon fibres out of your hand is a nightmare.

G Nocks should not be that hard to get out. In emergencies on the field without tools you gently grip them with your teeth twist and pull. Never had one that wont come out.

As above but use a small screw..... you get a better grip when pulling out

I've always used a small wood screw (without heating it) if there's nothing outside the shaft to grip with a pair of pliers. You've just got to remember to not screw it in any further than you need for it to 'bite' - otherwise the shank of the nock begins to act like a rawplug...

If theyre really tight they can take the insert out with them and it is very difficult to get the nock out of the insert. So keep a few spare inserts around as well as spare nocks.

That didnt make me feel very stupid

You never know if you have never tried it before. Common sense and care is all that is generally needed.

It must be going out with a dental nurse, but I always get told off for doing anything other than masticating with my teeth, lol.

boil the kettle, fill an egg cup, dunk nock end in egg cup for about 20-30 seconds, pull.

should come straight out with zero effort, promise.

works on tight nocks, superglued nocks, gummed nocks, all sorts.
