What is the name for the slotted plastic tip at the rear end of an arrow?

Vane
Shaft
Nock
Fletching

The correct answer is: Nock

The slotted plastic tip at the end of an arrow is called a nock. This piece holds the arrow onto the bowstring and helps guide the arrow's flight. Vane, shaft, and fletching are all incorrect options for this question because they refer to different parts of an arrow. A vane is one of the individual feathers or plastic vanes attached to the shaft to stabilize the arrow during flight; shaft is the main body of the arrow that connects to the nock and tip; and fletching is the collective term for the vanes attached to the shaft. It is important to properly identify the components of an arrow in order to understand its function and performance.
