Default nocks

hey guys,

did a bit of shooting yesterday...hit the back of one of my arrows, but didnt split it, just nicked it. The nock has a dent in it now, and it looks like it will split the string if i shoot with it. Is it safe to just file it smooth, or do i gotta replace the nock?

Thanks,
Mike

a new nock is a lot better than a split or bust and get a dry fire and have to have a bow fiexd.

just replace it or discard the bolt. JMHO

If it is carbon then it is toast.
