Choosing nocks for wood arrows

[Ozarkansas]

Anyone have any insight into different brands of wood arrow nocks? I’m building proper Doug fir hunting arrows for the first time, but I’ve only used bohning nocks before and they’re a little loose on my string. What do yall use for nocks? Is there an option out there with a bit more tension than the Bohning nocks?

AAE plastinocks offer a good fit. They will fit very similar to most
carbon arrow nocks.

I second the AAE Plastinocks. They’re my favorite nock, period.

I use Bearpaw and AAE along with Bohning T Nocks. Never had an issue with any of them.

Thanks y’all! I ordered some of the AAE Plastinocks to compare to the ones I have

I like the Classic Nocks. As far as fit to the string that would be determined by your serving size. Adjust the serving to fit whatever nock you choose.

Update: the AAE Plastinocks were significantly tighter, closer to an Easton X nock. The Bohning T nock fit perfect.

So to sum up:
-Bohning Classic Index nock: Too loose
-AAE Plastinock: Too tight
-Bohning T Nock: Just right
