| One expects that nocks are all the same but alas not so despite best manufacturing process. Once you have correctly grouped the bare shafts as a group, mark each arrow at the nock end with the alignment of the nock using the *two half* weld line or some other indent/identication mark. You must try out your spare nocks so that they too group with your existing group by positioning them to the same mark(s), so that if in a shoot more than enough nocks get blown away, the spares you have, have been *tuned* to your arrows/bare shafts. It is time consuming but at least you will know that each nock is truely the same as another and as such can be sorted into matched groups and kept in seperate packets. Just one more variable checked off the list of so many.
Having just got a new bow and now new bowstring materials, I'm about to embark on intensive tuning to include all of the above. Might take about two weeks but all this was calculated in my planning for this year.
You might also want to consider putting a few hours aside each month to recheck all your tuning and keep a note book at hand to record what you do with the results of what you do. Not only the kit can change but also the archer!
