Wood shafts split!

[Killdeer]

Now THERE is something I never saw before!  :eek:  

In Snag's case, however, I think that Morrison of his is just too fast for his arrows. He should send it to me for safekeeping.

Snag-I had a nock blow on me this weekend testing some new arrows. No damage to the bow,but it sure did whack my arm,man that hurt.Scared the daylites out of me,never had that happen before.Sure makes you gun-shy for a few shots.-----------Bone--

Yes, I've had plastic nocks break. I've never had a wrapped selfnock break though that I can remember. Jawge

[George Tsoukalas]

But never had a nock break and split a shaft like that. Jawge

[B.O.D.]

I have...lol    

[Ron LaClair]

No problems if you use a substantial arrow.

Evidently not an isolated case!

The last batch of 5/16" plastic nocks I ordered seem to be somewhat brittle (and more glassy looking) compared to the ones I've used in the past. But this actually helps me when a nock is hit while practicing. Just the ears break off instead of splitting the nock itself. But my shafts never ever split because of a simple thread wrap under the plastic nocks. Common thread coated with fletching glue is all it takes. -ART B

Killdeer thanks for being concerned...lol   But I couldn't let you take the risk with this bow!

[Molson]

Misunderstood what you meant by the nock staying on the shaft.  Definitely a nock failure!  

We've had three Classic nocks break on us this year. Seeing this has me wondering how common it is with the Classics.  Prior to the past year, I've always used Mercury with no problems.

Great Photo Ron!  You must've been down here in Ohio!!!  You know our Bucks are much tougher than those Wolva...Wolver... whatever those little rodents are in Michigan.  :D

[SCATTERSHOT]

The only nocks I have had split were too tight on the string, causing the string to wedge itself into the nock at the shot. You might double check and see that your serving is not too tight in the nock.

good luck!

Good advice. Thanks, David
