Make quality self nock arrows with the Bearpaw Self Nock Jig. This is a very handy tool for arrow builders who want to put a self nock on their own primitive arrows and Medieval arrows. It fits wood arrow shafts 5/16", 11/32", and 23/64" diameters. That's one device for all conventional wood shaft sizes! Simply place the untapered nock end of your shaft in the tool, tighten it, and use a hacksaw or sanding cord to cut using the guides. Remember to cut cross the grain (forming a +) for a safer self nock. The deeper cut is for the reinforcement insert (normally a piece of horn) and that is cut with the grain. The reinforcement insert is an optional cut, but if you do not do it, we highly recommend you wrap the base of your self nock with sinew to reinforcement. You can cut up to 1" for the reinforcement, and ½" for the nock slot. The width of the guides is 1/8" (or .125"). The Bearpaw Self Nock Jig (AKA Self Nocker Plus) automatically centers for a precise self nock. The steel collet holds the shaft securely in the tool. We recommend using our horn block or sinew wrap for reinforcement. Weighs approximately 4.8 ounces. Aluminum construction with a spring steel collet. Made in Germany. Instructions are not included. ...read more

I am a primitive archer and this Bearpaw Self Nock Jig makes hand cutting nocks easy and accurate, even with cane shafts. It can even be used on the point end if you are using trade points or stone points.

I've been waiting for a jig like this. By far a must have for any traditional archer!
A must for those looking for the perfect Nock.

I'm so glad to finally see this product by a US vendor. I've owned two of these over the last 5 years, and acquired them overseas. Its a very handy tool, and will make 100's of arrows. Just don't get too carried away with your cutting, since product is aluminum it will create a larger nock space over time.

It can be used for steel trade points. I have used it for these and it works well. For stone points all you can do with it is get the original slot centered and cut to the needed depth. From there you have to file the stone contours in by hand.

Yes to both. I use it to make reinforced and self nocks for my Native Regalia arrows. The bear paw jig will accommodate up to three hacksaw blades depending on the width desired.

6 years ago
Hi, I expect it will, as long as the diameter of the bamboo shaft does not exceed 11/32. The Jig uses an internal clamping collar so make sure you do not over tighten the collar or it will crush the cane. Always remember to reinforce the shaft just below the self nock either using linen/rawhide/etc thread if you have not cut the additional horn reinforcing slot or using rawhide/horn/hardwood slither. As the cane has a hollow core I recon you would need to experiment with either gluing or filling the nock end with a dowel insert first then cutting the nock. Happy fletching
