Default New nocks

I was reading in Bowhunt America today and they said one of the main reasons of lose of accuracy from season to season is nocks getting messed up. They recommended that you replace them every year. Eventhough they might not show signs of wear, most often they are bent or messed up to some degree. Does anyone do this? I've never heard of it.

I don't change mine once a year, but I do have plenty of spares. Any arrows that don't group, get checked for bad nocks. Its not too often a bad nock goes unnoticed.

Nocks are highly underrated in the accuracy equation. They are the only item that connects the bow to the arrow. Very important. I also keep plenty of spares.
