Nock inserts and adaptors

The insert and the pin (or nock adapter) are two essential parts of your arrow.
The pin is placed at the back to accommodate the nock, while the insert is fixed at the front to screw in a point or a broadhead. In addition to ensuring component compatibility, they effectively protect your arrow against impacts.

Description

What is an insert?

An insert is a piece (usually made of aluminum, steel, or brass) that is fixed to the front of the shaft to allow screwing in a field point or broadhead. To simplify things, manufacturers have standardized the threading: the universal size of 8/32" is used.

We find 3 types of inserts:

- standard inserts that are glued inside the shaft: these are for carbon or aluminum shafts
- inserts glued to the outside of the shaft (outserts): these inserts are particularly used on wooden shafts, to adapt broadheads or screw-in blunts.
- half-in half-out inserts (Half-out): half internal, half external, they combine precision and strength.

What is a nock adapter or pin?

A pin is a small piece fixed to the back of the arrow, most often made of aluminum, which allows you to insert a nock that we call a "pin nock".

The "male" part that will receive the nock is standard size to fit all pin nock models.

The part to be inserted into the shaft must however be of the correct diameter.

A pin considerably protects the arrow: if an arrow happens to hit another arrow's nock that has a pin, the nock will break, but not the arrow which will be deflected by the pin.

How to choose an insert?

First, you must take the insert that matches the diameter of your shaft or arrow.

The type of shooting will then influence your choice of insert: heavier inserts may be preferred for hunting. In 3D, reinforced inserts will be sought...

How to choose a pin?

Only one criterion: the pin must be compatible with the inner diameter of the shaft or arrow.

Our advice: Always favor components from your arrow model for a perfect... and winning combo!

How to install an insert or a pin?

As with points, opt for hot melt or an appropriate liquid adhesive.
⚠️ Avoid standard super glues: often brittle, they don't hold up to intensive use!
