Help Please

Has anyone had trouble with nock wear? seams like I get a rub on the back of the arrow and the nock after a few shots . I have checked every possible thing I could think of . I have checked the nocks so they don't set out of the arrow . ruled that out because the shaft is rubbing about a inch before the nock. tried straight, 3 degree helix and 1 degree off set . and real careful when cocking the bow .I thing there is a klinker or something rubbing in the rail.
I am shooting 380 Matrix 18" z's 2" blazers 92 inserts and 125 tips . I hope some body out there can help .
Thanks, W.M.

What shafts are they?
Have you tried a different vane as a cock vane?
Is there any residual glue on the shaft?
How does it shoot with fixed broadheads?
How old are they?
Got a pic?

Is this happening with one or more arrows? When you load the arrow onto the mainframe, gently push down starting at one end and working your way along the shaft. A damaged arrow can cause odd ware and will wobble in the rail. This is usually a cracked arrow. Perhaps I've misunderstood?

Is it possible that your arrow retainer is pushing down to hard?

like I said in my post . I am shooting 18" zombies, 2" blazers plastic nocks and yes they are brand new. does not matter what I shoot it happens to them all. it is only on the last inch of the arrow . I am going to take the rail off the bow and try to clean it up and look for burrs and hi spots. the arrow holder seams to be ok not to close or not to far. at first I tought I might be cocking it off to one side but I was real careful when it cocked it .

Are you getting any irregular serving ware? If so, check your limb tiller.

If this is what you're talking about and you are using 0.001" Zombies, then it's not unusual to see.

I wish I could send you a pic. but can't . the wear is about 1/4" wide . just like you have in your pic. worn so much that you can see a flat spot in the nock after about 7 shots.

no serving ware at all. I will call Dan Miller mon. maybe he will know.

Good call. I'm betting your tiller is out quite a bit.

I'm interested in hearing what you learn. I'm seeing a bit more wear than what is pictured too, but I am running a 405.

Thank you,

Will let you know when I have a chance to call.

I contacted Peter a while back about the same issue... all my arrows look like that. I believe he said it has something to do with the extrusion process and one side of the rail is a little rough.
If you look closely at your rail I believe you will see a little coloring on one side.... depending on nock color. One side of my rail turns orange from the blaze orange nocks I use. I have even found little flakes on the rail from my nocks. I haven't noticed it on my 310.. just the 330
Don't bother trying to smooth the rail with emery cloth, since you would need to take off a considerable amount to get it smooth as a babies bottom.
I will probably call Danny Miller one of these days and see what he thinks.

My Grizzly also paints after all the arrows but I thought that it is a common phenomenon . So now I have a bug in my head.
