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.
