I'm making a set of wooden arrows to shoot in traditional classes at 3D tournaments that require wooden arrows.
I ordered the shafts from Surewood Shafts and I'm pretty happy with them. Very nice shafts, straight and very nice grain. All of the shafts weigh 315 grains +/- 5 grains (as I received them, cut and tapered). They're 40-45# spine and I'll be shooting ~37# OTF.
I ordered the shafts with a 9" taper on the nock end with 31" BOP.
Test arrows I've tried shot very well at 40-45 spine in a full length (32" BOP) arrow.
It's been close to 30 years since I've made any wooden arrows and I'm really not that familiar with current offerings in nocks for traditional shafting.
On my new longbow I have a Fury string with a center serving that fits my current carbon arrows well. My current carbon setup uses a GT G nock with a .088" throat. I'm looking for a glue on type nock for the woodies that has a similar fit.
The tapered end of my shafts ends at 5/16" and a traditional nock taper.
Suggestions for nock?
