Type X Carbon Arrow Nock – 6.2 mm Shaft ID

The Type X Carbon Arrow Nock is designed for carbon shafts with a 6.2 mm internal diameter and is intended primarily for fast, dynamic arrow handling.

What does 6.2 mm mean?

The 6.2 mm specification means:

ID – Internal Diameter of the carbon shaft.

It is not the outside diameter of the arrow and not the width of the bowstring groove.

Carbon-shaft compatibility

Carbon arrows use hollow shafts.

The nock therefore needs to match the internal geometry of the rear section of the shaft.

Knowing only the arrow spine is not enough.

Type X design

Type X is a specific construction intended for compatible carbon shafts.

A different nock with a similar nominal dimension should not automatically be considered interchangeable.

Optimised for speed shooting

The design is focused on fast and repeatable handling.

It is intended to support:

• quick string engagement,
• smooth nocking,
• consistent positioning,
• dynamic shooting sequences.

Speed still depends on technique

A nock alone cannot make an archer faster.

Shooting speed also depends on training, arrow handling, quiver setup, bow design and shooting technique.

String fit

The 6.2 mm dimension determines the relationship between the nock and the carbon shaft.

String compatibility is separate.

The nock must still fit the actual centre serving correctly.

Too tight

An excessively tight fit can make nocking and release more difficult and may increase serving wear.

Too loose

A nock should not be so loose that the arrow falls from the string unintentionally.

Carbon-arrow inspection

Before installing or replacing a nock, inspect the rear section of the shaft.

Do not use a carbon arrow with cracks, crushed sections, splitting or exposed fibres.

Horseback archery

Type X can also be used in suitable horseback-archery setups when the complete arrow is correctly matched to the bow and the nock fits the string properly.

Origin

Current product information states that the nocks are imported directly from Switzerland.

The actual manufacturer and manufacturing location are not specified.

Material

The material is described as a durable synthetic compound.

The exact polymer is not specified.

Regular inspection

Check the nock regularly for:

• cracks,
• deformation,
• groove damage,
• secure seating in the shaft,
• correct fit on the string.

Final Summary

Type X Carbon Arrow Nock – 6.2 mm Shaft ID is intended for compatible carbon shafts and dynamic archery.

Key specifications:

• Type X
• carbon arrows
• 6.2 mm shaft ID
• speed-shooting optimisation
• durable synthetic material
• direct import from Switzerland

The 6.2 mm specification always refers to the internal diameter of the carbon shaft, not the nock groove or arrow outside diameter.
