What is the name for the slotted plastic tip on the rear end of an arrow that snaps onto the string?

Nock
Point
Fletching
Fletch

The correct answer is: Nock

The slotted plastic tip on the rear end of an arrow that snaps onto the string is called a nock. This component is essential for proper arrow function, as it ensures that the arrow is properly secured to the bowstring during release. A well-designed nock allows for a smooth transition of energy from the bow to the arrow, promoting accuracy and consistency in flight. The point of the arrow refers to the sharp end designed for penetration, while fletching refers to the vanes or feathers attached to the arrow shaft that stabilize its flight. The term fletch is often used interchangeably with fletching, but specifically refers to the individual components or the process of attaching feathers to an arrow. Therefore, the nock is specifically the element that attaches to the bowstring, making it the correct answer.
