Hello All,
I am embarking on my first "self nock" 12 arrow set build. These will be regular users, and as such I know that there is a chance of the nock suffering damage, particularly on shared butts. (Almost no danger if just me!) With this in mind I am considering making the arrows in inch longer than my current ones, and moving the fletchings slightly forward. This will enable me to simply remove the damaged end, taper, and stick on a plastic nock thus prolonging arrow life. Are there any issues regarding arrow flight/fletch placement that I should be aware of before I start? Will this alter the spine noticeably? 40-45lb POC 28" shafts (at present), with 4" fletchings, 100 gramme taper tips.
Thank you for any help, and sorry if this has been previously covered and I have not found it.
Richard.
