Abstract
A vane and nock assembly for use with an archery arrow shaft to make an archery arrow includes an elongate body with a plurality of vanes extending from and along the body. An arrow shaft is attached to the front of the assembly so that the vanes extend therebehind. A nock may be removably mounted to the rearward end of the assembly or may be integral with the assembly. The nock may be cooperable with a release device so the release device can hold the nock and drawing force can be applied to a bow string of an archery bow through the release device and nock held thereby to thereby draw a bow. The use of the nock and cooperating release device is not limited to use with the vane and nock assembly.
