Default T.R.U. Speed nok with peep aligner

I haven't read about anyone having one of these. I'm thinking about trying one, let me know if you have used one and liked it or not.

Just use a string loop. Weigh less, cost less and will do the same thing.

I've used loops before and didn't like the change to my anchor. This is the nock without a loop, all it has is a blade on it that your arrow nok slides over. You still hook your release to the string, which is what I prefer. The ad for them says they don't weigh any more than a brass nok but I would have to see it to beleive it.

I might have one, I'm not sure. If I do I can weigh one and compare it to a nock. If that is the case I would just use a brass nock, or better yet a tied on nock.

I wouldn't use something like this to cure peep roll over. If you are having problems with this just get your string adjusted so the peep rolls over to where you want it when you draw the bow back. Might only need a half a turn added or taken out to get it right. If it still isn't cosistant you need a new/better string and adding this thing may not solve your problem.

I used to use the ultra nock XL and the concept is similar. P I A to set up initially. With a loop you just turn it, you don't need to loosen any tiny screws and worry about the thing flying off while you are shooting it.

My honest advice, I would give the loop another chance and shoot it long enough to get used to it. Your wrist release may be adjusted too long, or maybe the loop was too long. As long as all your reference points for the string are good where you anchor on your face shouldn't make a huge deal, unless you are bit long on draw length to begin with.

I do see where you are coming from though, for a hunting only rig shooting off the string is sort of stupid simple. I don't even use a peep sight for hunting anymore. Solves that problem right there doesn't it.

These are only my opinions though, nothing more. I am surprised you haven't gotten more responses.

im another guy that cant stand a string loop.....ifyour new nock systemweighs a couple grains more/less thana reg nock thats ok...you wont notice the speed difference...

I use a peep with a rubber tube alighner i dont really like it...but when hunting you dont ever have to worry about the peep not turning right for whatever reasonso i use one...(wich reminds me i need to find a peep that will let more light in(bigger) i had a problem with this last season, i shouldnt have switched to such a small peep in the first place, maybe ill just go peepless)....but like Paul said its not the correct fix for the problem...if your peeps not turning right the string needs to be twisted.

I have been using peeps with the rubber tube for a long time. I just changed to a g5 metapeep a couple of weeks ago. It seems to be working just fine the way it is but I was just thinking of this as a safety precaution just in case it did decide to turn at the wrong time. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I'm a firm beleiver in Murphy's Law[8D]
