I toy with them on and off. I shoot them out of the mighty mite as well with a MZE and they work fine. They do prefer the nock a little high though as they'll corkscrew down if completely level. Never could figure out why, but when I raised the nock they stacked.

Do you need a Dropaway to get clearance?

Trushot_archer

Yeah. Or Nick really recomends a whisker bisquit. Either will work, but you nee something that doesn't interfere with the hard plastic.

I am working on getting some for a full evaluation. They appear to have some great features and for those that don't like to fletch arrows they offer quick easy replacement. Hopefully I will be able to use them in conjuction with some of the drop away rests I plan on testing out.

I talked to Nick Snook at the sportsman's show in Harrisburg. He informed me that he is working on a new formula of plastic for turbo nocks and the "hunter" version should be available in white in 2 months.
I have used the target version last year after seeing them at the show and found they do work as advertised.Paper tuning is somewhat different in that you need to move your nock point up or down if you get a left or right tear. (Mentioned in an earlier post)
F.O.C. becomes a non issue according to Nick because of the spin stabilization imparted by the turbo nock. I also found this to be true through my own testing, using different weight points ranging from 75gr-125gr on the same arrow.
My only real problem with them is they can pop off if you snag them on something while walking through the woods. Nick said you can overcome this with a small drop of superglue at the edge of where the shaft meets the edge of the nock.
I can tell you they also work great after busting a vane off of the nock. Which you will do once your bow is tuned for them.
All in all they do work as advertised...the hardest thig will be getting used to the funny looks everybody will be giving you when you show up with them on your arrows.
Oh yea, fletching a dozen arrows takes about 2 minutes after you glue in your point inserts.

Hey, this thing is new for me.
Does anyone know something about the weight of these nocks?
Do they work only on drop away rests?

I use Arrow Dynamics for 3D (to my full satisfaction) and i just tried to fit a 3d easton nock in them, but there go's my luck....no fit.

So i like to know about what carbons are use with those nocks....
Let me know...

What about the effects on penetration?

Hi Ray ,
The Hunters weigh about 44gr and the targets weigh about 32gr(?) I am pretty sure but I can go weigh one in a minute. OK...i had a chance to weigh a Dead-x and it does weigh 43gr not sure about the Hunters, besides I am going to wait for the new plastic.
DEADX - Fits uninock bushings for most aluminum and carbon shafts.
HUNTER - New larger vanes to stabilize target, mechanical, and fixed blade broadheads.
HTX - Smaller version of the DEADX that fits G-Nock bushings and stabilizes target, mechanical, and fixed blade broadheads.and Yes you absolutely have to have a fall away rest or "whisker" type rest.

DC,
No negative effect on penetration. You may infact pick up more K.E. because of more mass and weight.
