Hi!

I'm not a frequent poster with a well known name but I have a favor to ask if there's a willing Canadian.

Here's the story:
I recently got an old crossbow, a PSE Foxfire 2 from a friend of a friend. No arrows were included and, as it's unique, finding appropriate nocks for the arrows is difficult.

I found nocks that will work but the store is in Ontario and they explicitly say on their site:
"We ship with-in Canada only, no exceptions."

It's a little leap of faith but I'm wondering if someone would allow me to purchase them, sending to your address, and then mail them to me in the States. I'd cover the postage of course and we could agree on something for the hassle of it.

A bit of an odd ask. Any takers? Or alternate suggestions?
Brian

The crossbow? I got it in person, from a neighbor here in my small town.

PSE, the company that made the crossbow, hasn't carried the arrow nocks for years.

This is the Canadian website which had nocks that would work for me.
https://shooterschoice.com/shop/brand/gold-tip-brand/jennings-devastor-nock-2219/

It's just the little plastic nock on the back of the arrow.
The site has nocks for Bear Jennings Devastator crossbows which are close enough to work safely for mine.

It was just a shot in the dark to ask here, it's a bit of an unusual request.

How many do you want? Let me know and I'll order them in and ship them to you. Not sure of the timeline - shipping from Ontario to Alberta might take a little bit.

Just 6.
They have 10 in stock.
PM me with further details if you'd like.
Thanks!

If you get a hold of one of the knocks, you can 3D print them cheaply at most libraries now.

If they are that hard to get and they have 10, why are you only buying 6?

Fair question.
There were 14 in stock previously and I'd intended to get all 14, thinking as you said.
Then I looked later and there were 10.
I thought that if there are other guys looking I could be a little considerate.
Had the guy who bought 4 been thinking as I originally was, they would now be out of stock.

6 should last quite some time. If the arrow itself needs replaced I can remove the nock and put the nock on a new arrow. They'll last until I lose the arrow or break/ wear out the nock.

Although I hadn't thought of Keith's idea and don't know much about 3D printing I had hoped that, after having one in hand, it would be easier to find alternate options like that.

I’m guessing you got it sorted out through PMs? If not, give Rusty or RO some time to respond.

It is an unusual style. It's a rail less crossbow without any kind of piece to press the shaft in place. "Loading" a arrow with a half moon nock and angling the crossbow slightly downward - the arrow would slide forward away from the string.
