1. An arrow nock and nock receiver assembly comprising:
- a nock comprising;
(1) a bowstring reception surface designed to receive a bowstring to fire an associated arrow; and
(2) first, second and third nock contact surfaces; and
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;
(4) a first finger that extends longitudinally;
(5) a second finger that extends longitudinally; and
(6) first, second and third receiver contact surfaces;
wherein;
(1) the first and second fingers are circumferentially spaced;
(2) the first, second and third nock contact surfaces are distinct;
(3) the first, second and third receiver contact surfaces are distinct;
(4) the first receiver contact surface is on the first finger;
(5) the second receiver contact surface is on the second finger;
(6) the third nock contact surface comprises a planar portion and a curved portion;
(7) the third receiver contact surface comprise a planar portion and a curved portion;
(8) the first receiver contact surface engages the first nock contact surface;
(9) the second receiver contact surface engages the second nock contact surface; and
(10) engagement of the planar portion of the nock contact surface with the planar portion of the receiver contact surface and of the curved portion of the nock contact surface with the curved portion of the receiver contact surface provides relative rotational alignment between the nock receiver and the nock.
