Nock for 1916 Legacy

Scattergun2570 · September 06, 2012, 09:45:00 PM

After looking for the Bohning Classic Nock for the 1916 Legacy on 3 Rivers site.. it does not appear that its available in 9/32"..is this right? And if so.. what choices do I have for this arrow?

i cut the nock end off and put in a bushing for the "x" nock... works great!

Arizona Z nocks. 3 Rivers handles in 9/32

I use 5/16 on my 1916's. I get a better feel with the slightly larger nock. The fit is perfect.

I was hoping someone would say that. My Arizona 9/32 that I have for my 1916 Blues arrows are too small,terrible fit.

The Arizona Z nock does have a small throat.For a 9/32" I like American/BJ nocks,they have a larger throat and fit my strings great.

I would use the Arizona Z nock.

Another good option, is the 9/32"s Marco Snap Nock. I recently had the same challenge.

i got them Mike at the Nocking Point. They work well and have a nice fit.

Nocking Point is a sponsor here as well.

use a 9/32 speed nock unless you need the nock to snap on to your string.

I use the Arizona 5/16 nock or a Legend 5/16 on my 1918's-works great.

Kustom King has some Traditional classic nocks that were bearpaw brand and the 5/16 I use on my 1916 and they fit like a glove..No slop and you can get the Barred color in Red,green,grey for a $1.50 a dz.....I have the green and grey ones and they have a swirl mix of blackish color to them and the green are like olive drab and they are my favorite nock on my 1916's...

5/16 work great

It's all about your serving are you using a 12 ,14 or 16 strand string? Get your hands on as many different 9/32 and 5/16 and see what works for you. Thats what i have done. It worked for me.

I like the Bear Paw nocks also Keefer. Not as tight as a Snap-on and they come off the shaft in the same line as the shaft. Really a nice fit!

Just was putting some together. I like the way the Bohning classic fits in 5/16. Also the snap nocks in 5/16 work well. I have the Z nocks in 9/32. They leave a small amount of the tapper visable. Any way I like the classic the best. But all 3 will work.

I use Marco Nocks for my 1916's, you can get them from Black Widow

buckracks7 · September 08, 2012, 04:32:00 AM

I like the Marco nocks also in either 9/32" or 5/16". 3Rivers sells them in 5/16", and Black Widow has both.

A Bohning Classic 5/16th or Mercury and some blue finish cutting 120 grit sand paper. Gently sand them to shorten them up and they fit 1918s with no excess overlap past the shaft. I take the edge back a bit on the outside as well. It takes just a few strokes.
