Nock Collars

Tired of arrow nocks flying off while stump shooting or breaking arrows by striking another arrow's nock at target practice? Is the jackhammer effect of arrow Weight Tubes causing your nocks to shoot out? Arrow Nock Collars are the perfect solution! They keep your nock in place and protect your carbon arrows from splitting or cracking from other arrow impacts. ...read more

We have relabelled our sizing of nock collars so they apply to more arrow brands. Please use the charts below as a guide. Collars weigh approximately 5 grains each. Sold by the dozen only.

The Inside Diameter (ID) of each nock collar is listed so you may match it up with your arrow shafts Outside Diameter (OD). All collars will have a tolerance of +.001", but will not be under. It is recommended to epoxy nock collars in place, it fills in any space between the collar and the shaft due to tolerance differences.

Note: The outside diameter of the Arrow Dynamics wood grain shafting varies by a few 1000ths due to the wood grain graphic wrap. Therefore some point collars will slide on, and some will require more pressure to install. On the tighter ones, use sandpaper to sand over the leading Outside Diameter edge of the cut to length shaft, start the carbon collar, then apply pressure against a hard surface to push the collar on. Do not over apply pressure as you can break your carbon shaft.

Charts are subject to shaft and collar tolerance differences.

Nock Collars Reviews

These are not a gimmick; they work

NoSystem
6 years ago

I am a very active traditional 3D/target archer. I have been using nock and carbon collars on my arrows (Traditional Only and Gold Tips) for years. I have seen a lot of arrows cracked/shattered on the rebar skeletons in 3D targets. Since I started using these collars, it is a genuine rarity for me to lose an arrow this way. The field tip may be flattened like a table and the nock… read more dislodged, but the shaft is fine. Earlier today, one of my shooting partners robin hooded one of my Gold Tips; put it squarely through the nock and into the shaft. (See the pic.) After wrenching the tip/insert and ruined nock out, the arrow was perfectly serviceable. I would not feel entirely comfortable shooting without these.

Nocks don't fit unless forced in

KL

I purchased these in Size B and C within the last few months for my Gold Tip Warriors and my Gold Tip Hunter XT's both in 400 and 500 spines. The size B nock collars fit the 500 spine arrow shaft very well, the size C's are way too loose for the 400 spines, and I noticed that the .246 GT Nocks do not fit unless forced in. Once forced in, the nock does not come out unless you shave… read more off all of the little ridges or unless you force it out by pulling it with plier (which ruins your nock). This is extremely frustrating. I have since resorted to trying to find Carbon Express collars that fit the GT arrows. The collars for the Mayhem Hunter 250 fits the Gold Tip Hunter XT 400's perfectly, and the GT nocks fit too. Haven't yet found any that fits the Hunter XT 500's.

These are great!!! I use to split the backs of my gold tips all the time at 3d shoots. Since I have been using these I have never lost an arrow to splitting at the knock. I build all my arrows with some eye appeal so I wish they came In a variety of colors.

Great accessory for your carbon arrows

Spartanhunter

I use these nock collars on my carbon arrows and they do a good job of protecting the arrows from damage. They also look nice and are easy to instal. I use size B collars for 9/32 inch carbon shafts and they fit nice and tight and no glue is needed.

A few days ago I received my order, I am very pleased with the collars, I just want to put a big objection. On this planet there are people who use Gold Tip Traditional and has a lot of us. How difficult is to make collars for Traditional GT?

Prevent shaft fracturing

TrogPLX
12 years ago

These are basically the exact same thing as the nock collars. I ordered both, and I can't tell the difference in either. They do the job of preventing splitting of the nock end of the carbon shaft. They didn't really prevent the nock from flying out when you hit something slightly harder though. I ended up having to glue in the nocks, or carry around a pocket full of them. … read more If you are shooting semi hard stumps with carbons, you should have these on your arrows.

The nock collars will not fit the back end of those shafts. You can use the point collars that fit the front end if you really wanted to strengthen the back end of the shaft.
