RE: Bowtech Speed nocks update
I have what didn't fly off from the hush kit
, everything except the two thingies on the string.
Once they started throwing arms I took them off and added the STS.
In that format the bow was louder than need be. I could really tell a difference from practice shooting form inside of my ground blind. I added a string leach to the top and test shot from inside the blind- the noise was very reduced.I added another to the bottom and could tell no difference, so I removed it.
The leech didn't last long so I tried a bow jax installed on the string (not the zip tie model) and it lasted a long time and hushed the bow up just right.
You busted my poor memory though-
After looking over several pics of my bow (at work right now)I now remember a chrono speed session I went through with it when I first bought it AFTER the string thingies were removed. I had discovered a slight speed gain by adding two brass nocks up top and one down below placed on top of the excess factory heatshrink surrounding the factory speed nocks. When I added the bow jax I removed on of the two extra brass nocks from the top. SO I now have one extra up top and one extra down low for a total of 3 each direction (2 factory+ 1 brass x2 =6 total)
This one bow jax, 2 extra brass nocks and a string loop are all that are on my string.
I checked again last week-
29" draw, 385 gr, 61# = 275 fps. smooth mods.
