[QUOTE="jon.henry755, post: 495825, member: 29115"] Hi Konrad, The measurements that I received on the TAC15 shafts came from Dorge Huang and Super 91. Dorge had to create the Fire Nocks for these shafts, so he's probably one of the best possible sources for getting good measurements. I don't have a micrometer to do accurate measurements so I'm relying on others for this one. According to Dorge Huang / Super 91 the shaft I.D. on the nock end is somewhere between 0.295 to 0.300. The O.D. is 0.3495 to 0.350 Doing the conversion to fractions that would be in between 9/32 and 10/32 for the shaft I.D. and in between 11/32 and 12/32 for the shaft O.D.on the nock end. If you look closely at how the Fire Nock is made, you will see 4 contact points on the shaft of the Fire Nock, that compress equally to adhere to these tolerance differences and still center into the shafts correctly. 11/32 is the shaft O.D. on the front insert end because the insert that PSE is using allows the insert to align equally to the shaft O.D. so there is no lip between the two. PSE bevels the inside of the top of their shaft to accept a special two piece insert, but I don't know exactly what size the actual I.D. of the shaft is at it's front end. These shafts are definitely not your ordinary, every day, garden variety of arrow shafts! Jon [/QUOTE]
