Title: First Self Nock Arrows
Post by: m midd 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. (http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx210/mikemidd/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_1070.jpg)

Here are a few of the first shafts i have finished.
