Method and apparatus for aligning arrow nocks

摘要

An alignment tool may be used to align a nock with respect to an arrow having vanes. The alignment tool may include a body, a connection member extending from the body, and indicating surfaces that are spaced around the outer surface of the alignment tool body at a relative angular orientation that matches the angular orientation of the arrow vanes. The connection member may be attached to the nock and then both the tool and the nock may be rotated with respect to the arrow to align the nock with respect to the arrow by aligning the indicating surfaces with respect to the vanes.

主权项

1. An alignment tool for use with an associated arrow and an associated nock, wherein:
the associated arrow comprises (1) a body; and, (2) first, second and third vanes extending outwardly from the body at an angular orientation; the associated nock comprises: (a) a connection surface that is connectable to the arrow body; (b) a bowstring reception surface that is designed to receive an associated bowstring to fire the associated arrow; and, (c) an opening; the alignment tool comprises:
a body having an outer surface;a first connection member extending from the body; and,first, second and third indicating surfaces that are spaced around the outer surface of the alignment tool body at a relative angular orientation that matches the angular orientation of the first, second and third vanes on the arrow body; and, the alignment tool and associated nock are rotatable with respect to the associated arrow when the associated nock is connected to the arrow body and the first connection member is inserted into the opening in the nock to align the nock with respect to the arrow by aligning the first and second indicating surfaces with respect to the first and second vanes.
