Abstract

An arrow shaft having a reinforced nock end includes an arrow shaft and a carbon fiber tube retained in a nock end of the arrow shaft. An end of the carbon fiber tube may be flush with the nock end of the arrow shaft or be inserted to a depth to provide clearance for a shaft of an arrow nock. The carbon fiber tube is secured to an inside perimeter of the arrow shaft with any suitable bonding substance. A length of the carbon fiber tube is at least 1.5 inches long, but no longer than 45% of a length of an arrow shaft.

Claims
