Nocks? flat vs cupped
I bought an exocet after digging around. The question I have is on nocks. I understand the Excaliburs like flat ends. Is this a requirement? I have some horton carbon bolts with cupped ends. I can easily chuck them up in the lathe & turn them flat if it's necesary, but wanted to get some input from this learned assembly.
Use flat nocks on Excals as triigger mechanism grasps the string from the top , if your 1/2 moon nocks are not properly seated the string could jump the nock causing a dry fire type shot.
Your best off removing the old nocks and replacing them with regular inserts, then you can use an Excal T-handle bolt remover to extract bolts from targets without bending them.

Thanks for the reply, Digger. How do you remove the old " half moon nocks" from carbon arows without damaging the shafts? I've done it on alum shaft with a little heat. Good idea about the T-handle, but do you pull out some of the inserts when doing that?

I referred to the rear insert as as a flat nock that you could use a tee handle as in the pic.bstout wrote:Shouldn't there be a nock on Excalibur arrows?
The bow is designed to use a flat butt ended arrow. Your options are either to use a plug type insert which cannot be used to withdraw the arrow from a target in which it has sunk too far, or a CAP insert which can.
