broken knocks
How do you take a cracked knock off of an arrow? I tried to twist it off with a pair of pliers but i cannot keep the arrow from spinning in my hand and if I tried to clamp the arrow down it would ruin it. These are aluminum arrows I am trying to fix. Thanks for any input.

RE: broken knocks
Nocks on aluminum arrows are most likely glued w/ hot melt glue. If you heat the arrow just below the nock the glue will melt and the nock should slide right off.
Words of caution.....DO NOT heat the nock itself, and don't overheat the arrow. Keep the arrow spinning in your hand while you are heating it....It won't take much... |
RE: broken knocks
How about the carbon arrow side to the original question. I broke one yesterday and broke another today. They both broke off almost flush with the arrow. How in the name of common sense does one get that little sucker out of there?

RE: broken knocks
If a nock breaks off flush,you need to do 1 of 2 things.Take a wood screw and screw it into the nock and just pull it out with a pair of pliers or you can take a small screw and heat it up and melt the screw into the broken nock and let it cool and then pull it out with a pair of pliers.

Use an adhesive such as Bohning FletchTite or FletchTite Platnium to apply the new nock. Just a drop or so, it don't take much!! Roll arrow on table with nock over the edge to make sure the nock is square with the shaft and doesn't wobble. |

They may be tight, not glued in. Try the recommended way to remove as described earlier and see how it goes.
