New to crossbows. This may be a dumb question about nocks...

My wife got me a crossbow for Christmas. It's a Centerpoint Sniper Elite 370. I've been shooting it fairly regularly and I really like this thing. My question has to do with the nocks. I ordered a dozen Gold Tip bolts, and they came with 12 flat nocks and 12 half moon nocks. Is there a difference between one over the other? Any advantages?

I would say to ONLY use the ones that Centerpoint recommends.

The nock is the focal point for a lot of energy and a crossbow has some inherent dangers.

Many is the person in the emergency room that says “I wish had thought about that”.

Good luck!

There's really no advantage one over the other! Containment nocks are a different story tho! What does your crossbow manufacturer say to use! Stay with what they recommend.
