1. An arrow nock and nock receiver assembly comprising:
- a nock comprising;
(1) a circumference;
(2) a longitudinal axis;
(3) a bowstring reception surface designed to receive a bowstring to fire an associated arrow; and
(4) a nock contact surface;
a nock receiver comprising;
(1) a circumference;
(2) a longitudinal axis;
(3) an arrow connection surface designed to connect the nock receiver to the associated arrow; and
(4) a receiver contact surface;
a first interconnection comprising;
(1) a first groove portion that;
(a) extends circumferentially; and
(b) is formed on one of the nock and the nock receiver; and
(2) a first finger that;
(a) extends longitudinally from the other of the nock and the nock receiver; and
(b) has a lip defined as a first lip that is sized and shaped to be received in the first groove portion; and
a second interconnection comprising;
(1) a second groove portion that;
(a) extends circumferentially; and
(b) is formed on one of the nock and the nock receiver; and
(2) a second finger that;
(a) extends longitudinally from the other of the nock and the nock receiver; and
(b) has a lip defined as a second lip that is sized and shaped to be received in the second groove portion;
wherein;
(1) engagement of the first lip to the first groove portion and the second lip to the second groove portion provides relative longitudinal alignment between the nock receiver and the nock; and
(2) engagement of the nock contact surface with the receiver contact surface provides relative rotational alignment between the nock receiver and the nock.

Abstract
An arrow nock and nock receiver assembly may include a nock and a nock receiver. The nock and nock receiver may attain relative longitudinal alignment by the engagement of a lip to a groove portion. The nock and nock receiver may attain relative longitudinal alignment by the engagement of a nock contact surface with a nock receiver contact surface.
