So I've just started shooting wood arrows I started out with 80/85 in 11/32 and have now moved on to 23/64 80/85 due to cost. I'm having an issue finding nocks for 23/64. Would someone mind pointing me 8n the right direction?

You can use 11/32 nocks on the 23/64. If you want, you can also use a little sandpaper to feather the diameter for a better look.

I have used 11/32" they are only .016 smaller.

I've always just used 11/32 nocks on 23/64 shafts. They work fine.

I tried one last night and it seemed to sit funny. The nock I'm trying to use is bear paw because it is what I had on hand

11/32 nock. Tail nock taper if you want. Make a rubber hose connect to drill and shaft. Use 80 grit paper in your other hand. Run shaft back and forth about 10" apply more force to nock end. Easier than you think.

If the nock sat funny I would be looking at the nock taper. It may be crooked.

I'm with fdp on this one, also you might be applying too much glue.

The taper angle might be off or the taper could be too long and is bottoming out in the bottom of the nock.

It’s been so long I can’t remember if 23/64 nocks were made. I want to say yes because I have a taper tool that does that size.

Or you could taper the shafts down to whatever size nocks you want. >>>-----> Ken

I did have at one time some bohning 23 64 nocks a long time ago.But i dont remember where i got them.They seemed monstous !!! Lol

Hmmm…. I’ve always liked to size my nocks down one stop from the shaft diameter anyway… So I wouldn’t have thought about it.

Guess I don’t overthink EVERYTHING after all ;)
