The NOCK
A recurve archer always releases
asymmetric! The Beiter Nock gives the
best available guidance on the string!
Use a small strip of Teflon to close the gap
between nock and shaft! Do not use glue!
The release of Compound archers
without a D-Loop is asymmetric too!
HINTS AND GENERAL INFORMATION:
Beiter Deburring Tool to edge-off the end of the shaft. Clean the cut surface of aluminum and
aluminum-carbon shafts, before inserting the nock.
Do not use any solvents or solvent containing glues on Beiter Nocks. Install the nocks after cleaning
the shaft and introducing the point.
Do not glue Beiter Nocks!
The Beiter Nock is asymmetric, to adapt perfectly to the asymmetric drawn string. To ensure the Nock
is placed correctly, see that the notch for the nocking point, looks to the front.
The bushing on the arrow shaft can easily be removed (by cutting the shaft approx. 1 cm or 1/2” from
the end). Thanks to the direct fit, you reduce the tolerances to a minimum!
Use the
If the shaft diameter is a few hundreds of millimeter too big and the nock fits too loose, don't glue it!
Compensate the gap with a small strip of teflon tape. (look at the left drawing on the bottom)
To install, remove or turn a Beiter Nock, use the Beiter Push’n’Pull: it gives a better grip and works as a
small lever.
HINTS AND GENERAL INFORMATION:
Many arrow shafts are coming with an installed Super Uni Bushing. These may be easily removed to use
a direct fit Insert Nock.
Not only do you achieve the highest possible precision, but you also have much less weight on the end
of the shaft, compared to the use with a Super Uni Bushing and the relative nock.
Here is a real example: A 19/2 Hunter Nock with Uni Bushing (2314) weights 1,45g/22,36grns. A Beiter
Insert Nock 2314/2 Hunter weights ONLY 1,26g/19,345grns. THIS IS A LOSS OF WEIGHT OF ~ 15%!
And: the combination of Uni Bushing System and Nock is more expensive than 1 Beiter Nock!
Info!
Beiter Insert-Nocks 12/1, 12/2, 19/1 and 19/2: the colours #21, #35, #57 and #89 are "Heavy" and differ
from the Standard-Insert-Nock only because they are a little bit heavier and stiffer.
