How to Install Uni-Nock in Aluminum Arrows

Uni Nocks are designed to replace glued-on, over-the-shaft arrow nocks by installing a matching Uni bushing inside the end of the arrow shaft into which the Uni Nock is inserted. Installing Uni Nocks and bushings on aluminum arrows strengthens the shaft by adding support to the wall and a shoulder at the end the shaft, protecting it from damage. This makes Uni Nocks more durable, and the bushing allows for better alignment of the nock with the center of the shaft, while also accepting a variety of nocks that require less finger contact, increasing shooting accuracy.

Instructions

    • 1

      Remove the existing glued-on nock, if so equipped, by firmly grasping the old nock with the pliers and twisting to break the glued bond.

    • 2

      Cut the shaft down to the taper point with the shaft cutter and clean the cut with the deburring tool.

    • 3

      Apply hot glue to the Uni Nock bushing and insert it into the prepared shaft, twisting one full rotation to thoroughly spread the glue on the inside of the shaft. Allow the glue to set.
