- a second arrow including:
- a second shaft,
- a second bushing coupled to the second shaft, and
- a second non-lighted nock received in the second bushing, the second non-lighted nock excluding a light assembly;
- wherein the first shaft and the first bushing define a first weight,
- wherein the second shaft and the second bushing define a second weight greater than the first weight, and
