Installing the Saint Artemas Nock:


During most of their years of use, Saint Artemas nocks were installed by stapling them through the golf tube or Siloflex arrows with metal staples, and then wrapping over the stapled areas with tape. This method was declared illegal by the DSEMCA in 2003.


Simply friction fitting the Saint Artemas nock to a golf tube will not work at all. Friction fitting the Saint Artemas nock to a Siloflex arrow is very possible, but is illegal and potentially hazardous. Please do not merely friction fit your Saint Artemas nocks to your arrows!


Gluing of the nocks was tried by the Archers of Saint Artemas. The problem is that virtually nothing will reliably adhere to Siloflex. Golf tubes will accept a glue; however, the problem is that your Saint Artemas nocks will last much longer than most golf tubes will. If your golf tube arrow is ruined it is very possible to remove your Saint Artemas nock and reinstall it on a new golf tube; but if it has been glued to the golf tube the old remnants of golf tube and glue also have to be removed from the nock.
