Pin Nock

A pin nock is a specialized type of arrow nock that attaches onto a small metal pin at the end of the arrow shaft. The pin is first inserted into the shaft and acts as an adapter for the nock.

Advantages:

  • Protects the arrow shaft end from rear impacts (e.g., during a “Robin Hood”)
  • Allows easy replacement of damaged nocks
  • Ensures precise centering

Pin nocks are primarily used in competitive archery (Recurve & Compound).
