horn reinforced self nock arrows

Horn reinforced self nock arrows are pretty easy to make yourself.

With a couple of simple items great looking horn self nock arrows can be easily made:
  • 3 Hack Saw blades
  • Sanding paper
  • Wire wool
  • Pencil
  • nock strips

With a steady hand it's really easy to do yourself. Reinforcing an arrow stops the shaft from splitting on release of the string. This is really important especially if shooting very heavy bows.

Here's a little infographic I put together a few years ago to show how easy it is to make these reinforced arrows. Hope you like it!
