Pin nocks

Is it possible to shoot a robin hood with pin nocks or will the pin prevent it becoming a robin hood ?

Experience so far is that the pin prevents it. Usually the pin is a writeoff, but better that than the shaft.

I have heard the same, also if the pin does take a hit - change it as it wont take another!

If you hit the back of a pin nock and dent the pin, you can quite easily file out the dent and keep using the pin. I've done this for many of my arrows and never noticed a single bit of difference. The second or third time though... they don't hold up to multiple hits so well!

If you touch the pin at all, chances are its bent so bin it. If you hit the pin absolutely square on it drives down the shaft and its knackered. I have found beiter in out to be better and you dont have to mess about heating a pin to get it out of the shaft when you are out on a field course and getting short of arrows.
