Arrow nock question

Post by Cibby »

I bought a Ten Point crossbow 5 years ago also a dozen arrows with Ten Point nock. I took it back same day to many moving parts and bought an Excalibur Grizzly which I still hunt with today. My question is I'd like to cut these down to 18 inches and if weight is good shoot them out of the Griz. Do I need to replace the Ten Point nock. Its not a half moon nock.

....I think I understand your question....Excalibur recommends and the vast majotity of Excal owners shoot FLAT nocks.

Yo u can cut them to 18" and if on a budget file the nocks smooth and flat for the Grizz.

Thanks guys I will replace the knocks. There Easton Bloodline arrows 10.5 grains per inch. At 22 inches with insert the weight is about 341 grains on my digital scale and at 20 inches I get 312 grains. So if I cut them down to 18 inches they should be ok with insert. The Diablos I shoot are 250 grains and I use the 150 grain Bolt Cutter broad heads .
