This happens rarely to me, and when it has happened, the arrow has stayed on the string long enough to absorb most of the shock so it didn’t seem like a real dry fire. However, that's just dumb luck, and the next time it happens it could be worse. So it does worry me, and I would like to prevent it. But in order to do anything about it, do I have to check each nock each time I shoot the arrow? And how should I check it? There are some times I got some warning, like a nock fitting too loose, and I could discard the nock before it happened. But other times it's just Wham!

I had a bad run of pin nocks breaking way more often than usual several years ago, so I stopped using them. Odd, I thought pin nocks were supposed to be a step up from regular push-in nocks.
