What Nocks?

[BT]

What nocks work best for you and how many different manufactures and styles have you tried?.

I am still stuck on the CX nocks myself but with only perhaps 60 or so left , I will be forced to soon replace any remaining

Since the Nock is so critical , I figured there would be some good info out there.

Also....how about some pro's and con's

I've been using QAD's F/S Tun-A-Nock for about 4 yrs. It started out just trying to be different but I've grown to love them. They only weigh about 1/2 of a regular nock (about 4grs.) and come off the string really easy as the ears don't go past the string. Them being so short means they don't get in the way of your release if you're using a short loop on your string. I have yet had one come off the string when I didn't want it to. I've used the CX nocks that came with my arrows, Easton nocks when I shot alum. and Bohning nocks. Out of all of them I like these best. Just my .02.

I have tried many different ones...having shot Beman, Gold Tip, Easton, Carbon Express and a couple of others. As I decide to try different brands, I give the ones I'm "giving up" to friends who need arrows if the length is right. I have so many nocks laying around I don't even know what they are or which brand they are for. There are so many nocks out there it can drive you "nuts".

For the past few years, I have been using carbon express and with those have been using the TCX nocks which were OK but recently I went to the "hypertek nocks"..... high performance nocks from carbon express. CX claimed tighter groups because of the beveled nock inset and a tapered design to reduce "glance outs".

These are facts as I have personally experienced. The nocks are longer (about 1/2 " more than the TCX) also and weigh 12.4 gr., but I found my groups are much tighter, off the string release is smoother and they "stay on" the sring well. These nocks fit the CX, maxima, terminator, heritage and carbon rebel. They are press fit nocks that fit tight but tune easily.

I think I'll stick with them since they work very well for me. I use the CX Maxima w/ 85 gr. head for small game, 3D and the techohunt and the CX Maxima Hunter w/ 100 gr head for big game. These Hypertek Nocks fit both and work well on both!

Good stuff guys! ..... lets hear more

Been using the TCX's for a loooooooonnngggg time. In fact, I got some from Tedicast hear. I think he may still be selling some if anyone needs any.

anybody ever used GT's Pin nocks? First impressions is great idea with the alum insert reinforcing the nock; the overall length is short (off the top of my head I forget insert and nock weight) they fit too tight on the string though.

I'm using the TCX nocks as well, also supplied by Tedicast.
I just recently bought a dz. Eastman Litespeeds, and immediately switched out the nocks. I'll be using them on the hog hunt.

I don't know what nocks I got on my latest set of CX shafts but I really like them. they must be the older CX nocks.

Anyone ever used the turbo nocks? Not the plastic fletching ones but the ones that have a slight twist so arrow is spinning right off the string?

The one called the T-4.

Yes I have and I know a few others that have. They certainly do what they advertise and I myself like them. I will say this though, make sure your serving is top notch cuz those things are immediately spinni9ng the arrow at a very good rate.
