Default Is it true??

I read somewhere on here that if you do actually hit and bust the nock off of an arrow then you might as well throw it away, b/c it's done. The arrow that the nock was destroyed that is.

I don't know Mcbee, I guess if you just hit and chip you need to look at carefully. I have looked at mine and only seen one that actually looked like it had a crack.

I lost a few arrows this 3-d season fron nock hits, the arrow looked good untill you held the nock and flexed the arrow then you could see the fracture. I believe with arrows if your not sure toss them. It's safer.
