My First try at self nocks. Used a walnut hardwood insert. They fly off the string like darts, express delivery for deer only.  
 
Surewood shafts are the best.

I like those a lot.Great looking arrows.

Very nice work.

Great job! The deer should be proud to catch one of those.

Very nice ..!

Excellent!    

Nice reinforced self nocks, John. You will find them way more reliable that plastic nocks. I usually just make self nocks with a sinew wrap behind them but have also made reinforced self nocks(with hardwood and rawhide reinforcements)and never had a nock break. I sure can't say that about plastic nocks.

Great looking arrows. Fine job!

Wow, some of the handsomest arrows I have ever seen!!

Beautiful!

Those arrows are gorgeous....nice job!

My goodness those are beautiful, excellent work and well done. Is there any way we could get a few more picks maybe a closer look at the nocks too.

Very nice!!!

Well done those are awesome!

Nicely done.  I do the same thing with buffalo horn...

 

Here are a few of my self nocked and reinforced sef nocked arrows. The 2 arrows on the left are black walnut and the 2 on the right are sourwood shoot arrows. All self nocks with sinew wrap.
 

These are cedars with rawhide reinforced self nocks with artificial sinew wrap....
 

Eastern Woodland style 2 fletch with hill cane and sourwood shoot arrows. All have sinew wrapped self nocks.
 

Ash, full tapered arrows with osage spined reinforced self nocks with sinew wrap.
 

Two and 3 fletched hill cane arrows with sinew wrapped self nocks.
 

I have been making a lot of reinforced self nocks the last few years too. I really like them.  They look better and are more reliable than plastic.

Do ya'll freehand the reinforced self nocks, or do you use a jig?
