I looked at that museum picture of the Turkish arrows and the nock groove is 1/16". Mine are a little less than that. If you think about it there is probably very little pressure on the side of the nock if the bottom is shaped right.("U" shaped and rounded) The Turkish built up ones are going to be way stronger than self nocks but for test arrows I'm thinking it ain't necessary.
