Dry-fire warning
Crossbow bolt data and archery arrow spine, nock and thread data are quoted from each manufacturer's published figures, owner documentation and industry standards, cited on every page. A nock, spine 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 and the arrow maker's own chart before shooting, and never drop below the stated minimum total weight.

This is an indexed half-moon 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.
