Does anyone have a great trick for removing nocks from wood arrows? They are fletched, finished, nicely made cedar arrows; I want different nocks on them. I know I can carve them off with my knife, but it will be difficult to do without damaging the shaft taper. If the feathers weren't in the way, I could grind them off with my Wood Chuck, but the feathers... If anyone has actually done this and can lend me their experience, I will greatly appreciate it. Thanks, Matt

Get hold of them with a pair of pliers and give them a little twist first one direction and then the other and pull them off. Apply a little heat first and you have to twist them less.

DIP them in boiling water for a few seconds, then twist them off with pliers. Easy.

I take a knife and shave the nock where it contacts the shaft. You don’t have to cut much but go around the entire shaft. Then grab the nock with pliers and gently twist. Should come off easily.

Boiling water works fantastic as Murray stated even on The most stubborn knocks. It prevents any damage to the shaft as well.

The hot water and then the pliers like said above usually works for me...fletchtite or duco glue...but I've had a few stubborn ones...then I'll use the knife.

Cigarette lighter till it begins melting or the nock changes colour from the heat. Pull off with pliers or push the knock off with a knife.

Murray and Woodsman have it, dip in boiling water for a few seconds and twist off with pliers. Been doing this for years when I break nocks.

I use a heat gun to melt the top of the nock then cut it off with a knife.

Penn knife lift one edge and then pliers. Usually they come right off. Your going to need to scuff up anyways so a Penn knife for me to scrape.

I use my DNA lamp. I used to use a candle. I have a tool which is no longer available that cleans up the residue and scores the wood a little for the glue to hold better. The tool was made for aluminum arrows that used glue on nocks. I post a pic but I am 1100 miles from home.

I use an aluminum arrow nock repair tool to make sure I have a perfect 11.5 degree taper on my nock. I screw the nock repair tool on my wood arrow and rotate the arrow in an aluminum arrow straightener to make sure it runs true with no wobble then install my nock.

Anytime I remove a Nock from one of my wood arrows its usually broken and unsalvageable. Not had to remove them otherwise. Pliers and a knife.
