Society approval is for Arizona HT nocks, manufactured by Arizona Archery Enterprises of Prescott, Arizona. These can be bought at most archery shops or ordered online. Arizona HT nocks are approved over other nocks due to their superior breakage resistance, so do yourself a favor and use them. It is NOT easy to replace a broken nock on a combat archery arrow without having to cut off the Routed Channel APD and start all over again. Do yourself a favor. Prevent this problem before it starts.

Order the 16/64 size Arizona HT nock in whatever color you like. This is an “out” nock, ie it is designed to fit over the end of a carbon arrow shaft without tapering the shaft. It will fit ¼” diameter fiberglass shafts just fine.

Use cyanoacrylic GEL glue, not Fletch Tite or others (they’ll melt the plastic and distort your nock). Sir Erika uses “Quicktite” brand gel glue, available in any home improvement store throughout the country. Remember, it doesn’t take a lot of glue to put on a nock, so save your pennies and mess and take it easy!! Wipe your fiberglass shafts clean with acetone (not nail polish remover as it is not made of acetone any more) and then sand them lightly to rough them up. Then put a SMALL amount of gel glue in your Arizona HT nock and put it on. While holding the nock in place, take a little more glue and run a bead of it around the base of the nock, so that it overlaps the nock edge and the fiberglass shaft. Then set aside the arrows to dry.
