Dry-fire warning
Bolt length, nock type and minimum grain weight are quoted from each manufacturer's published arrow data and owner documentation, cited on every page. A nock or grain-weight mismatch can cause a dry-fire that damages the bow and can injure the shooter. Confirm against your own owner's manual before shooting, and never drop below the stated minimum total grain weight.

The Wrath 430 ships with three 20-inch 400-grain carbon arrows on a half-moon nock. CenterPoint's own 20-inch carbon arrow with the half-moon nock is the direct-replacement bolt; the nock is shaped to stop the string slipping above or below the shaft.
This is a half-moon, indexed nock. Seat the index vane exactly as the manual shows or the string can catch a groove wall and dry-fire the bow. Keep total weight at 400 grains or above.
