Broken nock

Arrow making and repair tip on removing broken nock

I’ve been doing some repairs on some club Mybo Cadet arrows and I’d like to share this tip with you. Following a coaching session we had quite a few broken nocks.

When a nock breaks leaving a section in the shaft, it can be hard to remove. I found taking a small screw and carefully screwing it into the broken part of the nock can help. You can then use a pair of pliers to grip the screw and with a bit of puling it should come lose with the broken part of the nock attached.

It might take a couple of attempts but be patient, it should work.
Thanks for reading.
