TenPoint Alpha-Nock: which crossbows use it
Where the TenPoint Alpha-Nock is used, its shape, and the compatibility rule that stops a dry-fire.
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.
| Nock | Alpha-Nock / Alpha-Nock HP / HPX |
|---|---|
| Form | deep bowstring channel with elongated ears, non-indexed |
| Fits | All 2019-and-newer TenPoint and Wicked Ridge crossbows; back-compatible into Horton |
| Compatibility rule | Required on all 2019-and-newer TenPoint and Wicked Ridge crossbows; fitting a flat or Omni-Nock instead voids the warranty and can let the string pass under the nock and simulate a dry-fire. |
Field notes
Used on: All 2019-and-newer TenPoint and Wicked Ridge crossbows; back-compatible into Horton.
Required on all 2019-and-newer TenPoint and Wicked Ridge crossbows; fitting a flat or Omni-Nock instead voids the warranty and can let the string pass under the nock and simulate a dry-fire.
The Alpha-Nock is non-indexed, so orientation does not matter, but it must be an Alpha-Nock. An older Omni-Nock or flat nock in a narrow modern TenPoint can be caught above or below by the string.
