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.

RE: Is it true??
 

wow why would the arrow get ruined.......ive never heard that one b4

RE: Is it true??
 

Just check it very carefully, stick another nock on her and keep flingin'.

RE: Is it true??
 

someone said something about hairline fracture in the end of the arrow ....

RE: Is it true??
 

is that like if u hit the nock pretty hard or u just chip an end off

RE: Is it true??
 

I still shoot the arrow if I bust a nock. Just check it carefully.

RE: Is it true??
 

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.

RE: Is it true??
 

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.

Must be carbons Landon.

RE: Is it true??
 

yep steve they are!

RE: Is it true??
 

You could probably get away with shooting it, but the safe thing to do would be to retire the arrow.

I figured that. Aluminums haven't gave me this problem your reffering to.

RE: Is it true??
 

yeh they just bend and warp...

RE: Is it true??
 

Oh really! How long you been shooting aluminums?

RE: Is it true??
 

I still have alm shafts from 1o years ago, and they are probably the safer shaft - but i still use carbon/with alm core

RE: Is it true??
 

I do the same thing,if not sure get rid of them,after seeing that pic of a arrow through the hand thats all needed.........

RE: Is it true??
 

well i have one that im using now that i knocked off and replaced. I looked over it and it looks great and shoots fine, so i guess it's ok......

RE: Is it true??
 

Always check your arrows for damage. I had one that had a hairline crack near the nock. It took two of us to find it.

RE: Is it true??
 

Well I have shot several times since then, I guess it's ok, I just don't see any damage and the cost of arrows is rediculous, I just want to throw a good out !!

RE: Is it true??
 

happened to me last evening shooting. I thought I robin hooded it but took half the nock off. I had a spare that the insert was missing so I just switched nocks and it shoots fine.

RE: Is it true??
 

If something happens thats usually what happens with me is the nock will come flying off. If the arrow don't tube the other one I've never had a problem besides the nock coming off or breaking the end of the arrow off I hit. Thats one nice thing about shooting Aluminums, you don't have to worry about an arrow blowing up when you shoot it if your slightly worried about something.

RE: Is it true??
 

my second practice shot of last year centered a nock... definately not tryin to be robin hood... but it busted the piss out of the nock and splintered the arrow... it was an easton epic arrow

RE: Is it true??
 

I guess I will just chuck it. It ain't given me any problems so far, but I won't chance it.
