      in reply to: Newbie with an Arrow Question #40871

      I appreciate everyone’s help. I put the new nocks on my arrows and threw some 125gr field points on there. Went out and back and did a bunch of shooting yesterday. Only my 3rd time shooting traditional instinctive so I’m starting out at about 15 yards or so and just trying to focus on consistent form. After 60+ shots yesterday I’m already seeing improvement in my groups.

      I’m moving to a new house in a couple weeks and my back yard will allow me to shoot up to 40 yards so I can’t wait to start burning shots into my brain at every distance in between.

      I’m an amateur leatherworker and most of my work is on motorcycles I build but have done a lot of other random work as well. I have a quiver and arm guard design in my head I want to try out so I’ll share those with you guys when I finish them.

        Thanks for the advice Alex. I’m the same way. I prefer to support those folks as well and generally avoid Cabelas. But they are right down the street from me and they have the conventional nocks that I need. But for all my other trad needs, I go elsewhere.

          Thanks gents! Closest store to me is Cabelas, so I’m gonna head over there and pick up some nocks and field point today.

            Thanks for the quick replies. Guess I left out some info.

            My draw length is 27.5″ and my bow is pulling at 51.8 lbs at that length.

            The aluminum arrows are Easton Legacy 2117 Longbow 60-64#

            The arrows are 29″ long from the deepest part of the nock to the end of the arrow (minus the field point) and they have 100 grain field points.

            I’m not sure what glue the nocks are put on with but the nock end of the arrow is tapered and the nock is pushed on. I’ll try the hot water method. Hopefully it’s not some super human epoxy.

            Based on that info, seems they are way too stiff for my bow. The 3 Rivers chart says that I should probably be shooting a 1916 or 2013.
