I'm startig to make my own arrows. I'm using 23/64" shafts. Do I need to get 23/64 nocks for these? I was looking on 3rivers and they dont have any. Are they hard to come by? Do I use the same glue as my points, for my nocks?
11/32 nocks will work on 23/64 shafts, but a little of your nock taper will show. 23/64 nocks are still widely available as far as I know. Generally, you use a hot melt glue to fasten field points and broadheads to wood shafts, and a glue like Bohning fletch tite or Duco cement to attach plastic nocks to wood shafts.
Thanks. Justin
have you ever made arrows??
did you remember to make the grain the correct way when putting on tips and nocks??
just trying to be helpful if you havent read any books on this tj conrads book traditional bowhunters handbook may save you a lot of time and or materials
I havent made arrows yet. I'm starting soon though after I find all the info I need. One of the things I needed to know about is what you stated. I have read something about the grain going the right way, but am still in the dark about it. I'll check that book out. Thanks. Justin
