Default RE: You guys seen these?

I use them on all my bows. I really like them and feel they give a great consistent release.

Also, even though I loose a little speed, when I do sight settings it sems as though the marks close a little at further distances.

One of the cons for you guys who are rough with your stuff is you don't want to get mud on the nock inserts -- they will not load properly if coated with mud.

They are initially a little slower to load until you become accustomed to them, then it becomes second nature.

The warranty is great. Some of the first models out were too long, but the new ones (Pro-1 versions) are great. I keep a spare receiver with me incase something should happen (you can break them, but if they do, Chris will replace them).

I am sold on them as they seem to give great flight and are very consistent. As many know, conventional nocks are often overlooked maintenancewise. They wear serving and get weak, some are tighter than others, etc. If you use regular nocks, you should change them frequently (as they become inconsistent), and reserve you center serving as it wears.

Hey Rob, when you went with this system, how long did it lengthen your arrow?
