TenPoint Omni-Nock: which crossbows use it
Where the TenPoint Omni-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 | Omni-Nock (legacy TenPoint) |
|---|---|
| Form | six-groove nock so the string finds a channel at any rotation, non-indexed |
| Fits | Pre-2019 TenPoint and Wicked Ridge crossbows, replaced by the Alpha-Nock |
| Compatibility rule | The Omni-Nock was TenPoint's standard before the Alpha-Nock. TenPoint now specifies the Alpha-Nock on all 2019-and-newer bows, so an Omni-Nock should only be shot on the older bows it shipped with. |
Field notes
Used on: Pre-2019 TenPoint and Wicked Ridge crossbows, replaced by the Alpha-Nock.
The Omni-Nock was TenPoint's standard before the Alpha-Nock. TenPoint now specifies the Alpha-Nock on all 2019-and-newer bows, so an Omni-Nock should only be shot on the older bows it shipped with.
Do not fit an Omni-Nock to a 2019-or-newer TenPoint to reuse old arrows. The newer barrels are cut for the Alpha-Nock, and the shallower Omni groove can let the string pass under the nock and simulate a dry-fire.
