Firenock style "F"lat nock

[Firenock]

For those who have been asking what Firenock is going to do for those who INSIST a flat nock is the only nock for a crossbow nock, we have your answer. We have just finished design our Style "F"lat crossbow nock. It should be within 1 grains of the new 1/4 moon hybrid nock.

Ready for the great news. We actually went back to the drawing board and redsign the old Style "C" nock too. Both new "C" and "F" style nock allow you to change the circuit board and weight by just pressing it with your finger and be able to pull the circuit board and the matched weight out. The current style "C" is just a little difficult to do. We also reduce the total weight by 1.4 grains. Which make the new firenock "C" or "F" style nock under 30 grains complete (nock, circuit , O-ring and battery)

We should have the new style by late September, 2008 which is just nice for the hunting season. The type "F" nock will initially only be sold as an accessories. $9.95 for 7 just like the rest of the nocks and in red. Design diagram below.

Sorry, I am having the new hybrid half moon and flat done at the same time So they will role out at the same time. May be we can get some before mid August 2008

We should have both the new "H"ybrid and "F"lat nock mould finish by month end. So, I would assume that middle of August is when I expect to have the new cross bow nock out. Check out our expended new price list and product offering at www.firenock.com/marketing/RetailOrderForm.pdf

Below is the final technical drawing of both. They are within 0.07 grains of each other. So which ever one you like to shot with, they should give you the same performance base on weight.

Got this in this morning. Will be on Firenock's review section by mid day too.

This review is my experience with Dorge and Firenock’s product.
I contacted Dorge by phone after seeing a tread in a forum stating that Firenock had 5 sets of their new crossbow flat nock’s, first come first served for a trial field testing. I was lucky enough to be one of the five to get a set.
Dorge was very pleasant to talk with; he explained what I could expect to get from Firenock in return for my opinion of the new crossbow flat nock (Firenock GCF). Dorge was prompt at getting the nocks delivered.
My first impression was that they looked to be a quality built nock. I could tell from looking at them that a lot of thought was put into the mechanic's. The tooling was professional too, no rough or sharp edges, all components fit nicely.
I had minor problems installing the battery in the first nock, the next two I installed without any problems. I do think that an O'ring sizing chart (scale drawing with size indicated) would help in deciding the proper O'ring to use. I installed small O'rings on the first nock and had to replace them with larger one's.
The weight varied .5 grains between 3 ready to install nock's, 30.0 to 30.5. The competitor was 28.0 to 30.0 on 3 nocks. The numbers speak for themselves on quality.
They fit very tight and fit perfectly to the diameter of the shaft. I really like the look of the red nock compared to the clear one's.
Now for the part that matter's.
When I loaded the bolt onto the rail I did not have to raise the bolt hold down to insert the bolt into the trigger housing as I had to with the other brand. That was an unexpected plus.
The first shot was at 40 yards into a dirt backstop mid day, I could see the bolt all the way to the target. I was very impressed! The bolt penetrated to the nock in the dirt, if not for the light it would have taken a while to find it. They have already started paying for themselves.
When I removed the bolt from the dirt, I focused my attention on the nock. This thing looked great, it was very bright and clear. I bounced it off my porch per the instructions an it went out. I thought this is to good to be true so I shot it 5 more times without any flaws in performance.
I then shot the second bolt 6 times and the third bolt 6 times. NOT ONE FAILURE OF ANY KIND. They all performed perfectly, I cannot say that about the other brand. I am very pleased with these Firenock's. I am looking forward to hunting with them this fall. I will report my experiences with them as I use them.
Thank you Dorge for bringing a quality product to market, it is hard to find true quality in today's economy.
Sincerely; David Peacock
