How to insert a tanged horn nock into an arrow shaft, insert nock

A quick look at a type of nock you may not be familliar with, they are a `tanged` nock sometimes called an insert nock, which goes into the shaft rather than over the top of a cone on the shaft. These ones are made from bone and horn, we have a few left over, a mixed bunch, we are selling them off in our SALE page below, one bargain lot only, once thay are gone they are gone!

Good making

Thank you so much 😀

These nocks do look ideal for bamboo arrows.

[@longbows]

Yes

[@CrimeVid]

You could easily make a guide/jig for the tangs, it would have to be shaft size specific though.

[@longbows]

Yes, as I mentioned.

[@RAkers-tu1ey]

Never seen these before.
Is there a historic relevance? I quite like doing the self nocks with the horn insert (on the rare instance I build wooden arrows) using fake horn, cause that is what I have. Are these better?

[@longbows]

Horn/bone has been used for years as nocks, particularly in the Victorian era for target arrows.

[@ClarkKent-ij3rm]

Is there a benefit to this sort of nock?

[@longbows]

Yes. They look nice, they are stronger than plastic, less plastic is good, more period authentic for those wanting to do that etc.

eww plastic nocks.. EWWW. I am never gonna put plastic nocks on arrows i make. I need to try some horn nocks

[@longbows]

There are many advantages to plastic nocks, speed of application for one.

[@Soviless99]

Richard Head Longbows i feel like they can totally ruin a potentially traditional looking arrow. what are other benefits would you say?

[@longbows]

Plastic nocks made the sport more accesable to those on a budget, a small outlay for a taper tool and a couple of pounds for a bag of nocks people cna make their own arrows or just maintain th eones they have, without them people would either have to buy pre-made arrows or be using horn that is much harder to use and apply.
