The Mid Nock was designed in the 1930s and used extensively in traditional archery through the 1950s. The Mid-Nock design was used extensively by the best archers in the world. The Mid-Nock was designed so that if the archer hit a nock with another arrow damaging it, they could hold a match to the nock and it would flare up and burn off from the arrow shaft without damaging the wooden shaft. The Mid-Nock was the only nock ever made that was designed for 23/64" diameter shaft as well as 5/16" and 11/32" diameter shafts. In the 1980's Stotler Archery reintroduced the Mid-Nock. Before that introduction of the Mid-Nock there was not a nock for the 23/64" diameter shaft. The nock was designed to be glued to an arrow shaft that had been tapered to a 5% angle with a Bear paw taper tool and glued on with Ferr-l-tite Hot Melt glue. The new Stotler Mid-Nock design has an index mark that is on the nock to insure the proper placement of the "cock" feather and is also tapered from round to insure a proper release when shot.
