Type Y Carbon Arrow Nock – 6.2 mm Shaft ID

The Type Y Carbon Arrow Nock is designed for carbon shafts with a 6.2 mm internal diameter and prioritises comfort, secure handling and controlled arrow nocking.

What does 6.2 mm mean?

The specification refers to the:

ID – Internal Diameter of the carbon shaft.

It does not refer to the arrow outside diameter or the bowstring groove.

Type Y versus Type X

Both designs may fit a 6.2 mm ID shaft, but they have different priorities.

Type X is focused more heavily on speed shooting and fast dynamic nocking.

Type Y is focused more on comfortable grip, control and repeated use during longer sessions.

Comfortable handling

During a longer training session, an archer may repeat the same arrow-handling sequence hundreds of times.

A nock designed with comfort as a priority can make this repeated handling more pleasant and controlled.

Coaching and beginners

Type Y may also suit coaching environments.

A beginner usually benefits more from controlled, repeatable arrow handling than from maximum nocking speed.

Recreational archery

For recreational shooting, absolute speed is rarely the main goal.

Comfortable grip and predictable handling may be more useful.

Traditional and instinctive archery

Type Y can be used with suitable carbon-arrow setups for traditional and instinctive archery.

The complete arrow still needs to match the bow correctly.

Horseback archery

Type Y may also be used in suitable horse-archery setups when control and handling comfort are prioritised.

Can Type Y be used for speed shooting?

Yes.

However, if maximum nocking speed is the primary objective, Type X is the more speed-oriented design.

Carbon shaft compatibility

The 6.2 mm ID is the key dimensional requirement.

It does not determine arrow spine, wall thickness or weight.

String compatibility

Shaft compatibility and string compatibility are separate.

Always verify the final fit on the actual centre serving.

Correct string fit

The nock should hold the arrow securely without gripping the serving excessively tightly.

It should also not be so loose that the arrow falls from the string.

Material

The product is made from a durable synthetic material.

The exact polymer is not specified.

Origin

Current information confirms direct import from Switzerland.

The actual manufacturer and precise place of manufacture are not specified.

Carbon-arrow safety

Inspect the rear section of the carbon shaft regularly.

Do not use shafts with cracks, delamination, exposed fibres or structural damage.
