Removing a Plastic Nock from a Carbon Arrow
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- The standard process for removing the nock from an aluminum arrow requires heat. This is not possible with a carbon arrow as the heat will cause it to melt. This video gives an alternate removal method for carbon crossbow arrows that requires absolutely no heat. It is a simple and quick process that allows the user to change nocks at home, allowing the user to utilize the NuFletch Ignitor lighted nocks
Good method but you might want to show a different way to hold bolts before drilling , I can see people slipping and drilling a hole in their hand very quickly! Safety first!
Perfect, I wasn't sure if they were glued or what. They make sure the nocks don't fall out for sure.
All you have to do is get a long brass brazing rod. Remove the field point or broad head and insert the rod into the bolt through the hole. A few taps on the back of the bolt with the rod will knock it out easily. Most bolts do not have the nock glued in.
But what if you are using full length 80cm arrow? The brazing rods are only 50cm at most.

@@donches7637 nevermind, I just found 1 meters long 3mm diameter rod at my local online retailer.
@@kaikart123 get a 1/8" steel rod for $2.00 they come in 4ft lengths and cut in half.
Thanks for the video bud! I need to remove some plastic nocks myself out of some Quills. You're an adult and you're welcome to drill the arrow out any way you choose. Ignore the first aid know it all's on here. If that's the way you choose to drill it out, great! Good Job!
I simply put the nock into a vice without touching the carbon, and rotate it slightly as i pull it out. Works great, takes a few seconds.
I think maybe heating up some water and letting the nock sit for a bit and pulling it w pliers would be safer than drilling it but to each their own
I just bit down on the knock with my teeth and pulled it out.
Thank you…………………….for………………………………..this video
😂😂..........you...........are welcome
Nice show how ..but damm you made me nervous with the hand right below the bit
Thanks for the appreciation! If you find a better way, please share it! I don't claim this to be the best, but it worked for us, and I wanted to share it with anyone who might have the same issue we did
You really need to be using a vice if you’re going to drill into something facing your hand. That’s a good way to end your hunting season. Use some safety precautions. They might just save you from a bad accident.
Thanks for the video man
Thanks
Cool! I was afraid to try until watching your vid.
Mine came out a bit easier. Just had to grip with pliers, then twist & pull straight out. There was no glue, just friction.
P.S.
I'm so glad you didn't drill a hole in your hand. I would have felt better if you were wearing thick leather gloves.
Great info! Thanks!
Stay tuned for our next video where we demonstrate proper first aid for deep puncture wounds in the hand.
Imagine finding a video that's three years old and still talking trash lol

I came here because I searched on nock replacement. I didn't have to worry about removal. The nock came out on its own upon impact with the target bag. Do you have tips on installing replacements? What kind to avoid? Glue? No glue? I'm a novice. Thanks.
Good questions! First thing I would say is that I would replace them with lighted nocks (I prefer NuFletch Archery's because of the quality and price), but you don't have to use lighted. The main thing is making sure that they fit tightly into the insert at the end of the arrow. If they don't, the insert may be damaged or the nock too small. You shouldn't have to use glue on the nock itself, but if you have to replace the inserts, you would use glue on those. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have more questions
@@craigkaimer228 Great thank you for the quick reply. Upon close examination of the bolt (looking for an "insert") I just discovered the bolt itself is cracked. The carbon fibers are split.
@@Blackcloud41 well damn, that kinda throws a wrench in the process. hopefully you don't break any more arrows, but i'm happy to help if you decide to change any other nocks on your good arrows. Good luck!
@@craigkaimer228 yep. Thanks again.
Yessss People do Exactly as he has done... Allow for distractions or any form of focus deterrant during the drilling process lmao
There is no way I would trust my coordination as you must. I would so put a hole in my hand!
Great way to drill your hand
crossbows use arrows? I thought they were called bolts...
Today's "bolts" are almost identical to arrows. Bolts from hundreds of years ago are significantly different.
True crossbow bolts are the projectiles from about 7"to10" long.
Today's crossbows shoot arrows.
@@charliebeaver6771 today's crossbows shoot either. Bolts are still used
Dude thats so much work for something thats no more than a few dollars ill just go buy a new pack
You do realize that it's for changing the knocks to put in...say...a lighted knock? Buying a new pack doesn't accomplish that, but good effort
@@craigkaimer228 they come with lighted knocks nowadays for a few dollars more if thats what you like i myself have just never had or used them not really one of my concerns
If by a few dollars you mean $20 a bolt then go for it man. Some people would rather save the money and buy knocks for $3 a pop. If you don't like the information, you don't have to use it, but I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
I am not hating or trying to sound shity but i have never paid 20$ for one bolt get a six pack of carbon express or some blood sports they work fine 29-50$ for a six pack
Wes Monahan vs 3 dollars a knock. 🤔
I believe that's most dangerous thing I've seen on the Internet.😮
You probably haven't seen very much of the internet. If you don't like the method, don't use it, and kindly move along. Have a great day.
public safety warning, do not try this at home lol
