My 1st dryfire w/ Emax as memorable in several respects.

I couldn't find the string. I eventually gave up on it. One day looking for something else, I saw it curled up like the little grey/black snake that it was on a grey shelf, lol.

On the part of the nock that inserts into the shaft there are tiny ribs running length-ways. The end results is there is not very much surface contact between the inserted nock and the inside if the shaft.

Thank you Boo for helping me post my picture of the plastic nock with ribs. It is a little fuzzy but the ribs show.

A damaged aluminum nock can do exactly that.
