My 9 year old daughter got her first bow yesterday, which I set at 21" draw and 25lb. I know! I know! It is below recommendation, but it is all she can handle now, but the Alpine bow has Trophy Taker micro adjust 4 pin sight, North Carolina Archery Lore stabilizer, Alpine Whisperflite Rest, Speciality Archery Super Ball Peep, GoldTip Shaft, Shark fins, and Firenock "G" with a 168G acceleration switch. Firenock "G" works even at this low poundage. I am more than confident that all people who hunt legally would be totally OK with Firenock "G". Below is the video. Tell me what you think?  |

Tell us she likes that setup! Very nice indeed... Any idea how much the Firenock changes the FOC on the arrow? Just curious. Looks like the assembly runs 22 to 31 grains - a standard nock is around 9 grains (Easton axis). Impressive. How long does the battery last? Looks like about $10 for three battery replacements. firenock.com/ |

It really does not change the FOC much at all. From the experience since Firenock v1.0, which is 32 grains, it only have issue when people start using 75 grain head. It is really a non issue when one uses 100 grains. As a matter of fact, I have many people use it and get better result due to the dampening of the back of the arrow in flight. A standard nock weight in at 12 grain, and X-nock doi weight about 9 grains. Firenock do not offer any other size beside standard and crossbow as of now. FYI, Firenock's battery is field replaceable, and so is the nock. Each battery last about 24 hours.
She like the set up a lot. After a day of shooting, she is now pulling the whole 35lbs instead of 25 when she started. She got a arm guard now.

The net difference in weight is about 13 grains which wont change anything. If you wanted to be anal , you could add a brass washed to the field point/broadhead and even it out. In my case , I shoot a 85gr. normally so I would just go to 100 grain and everything would remain the same with a net gain of 28 grains. For me , thats not a big deal. JMO Dorge.... Your daughter looks like she might be at home with a recurve....has a natural stance for it  |
