===Arrow nocks===

Most arrows would have been ‘self-nocked’, although the earlier simple flat-nock may sometimes have still been employed. In Hedeby we have a unique find of separate brass nocks that had been inserted into the ends of the arrow shafts.

*Flat-nock. The simplest style but also the most dangerous. This can only be used on very low poundage bows. for crossbows

*Self-nock. The most common form of nock, being quick and easy to make as well as much safer than using a flat-nocked arrow.
