Default RE: Those crazy Turbo nocks?!?!?!

tru-shot, yes, I did get them tuned in to my liking. Was it worth the hastle? Don' t really know yet, but I hope so. As far as raising the nock. I would say definetely! I was at about 1/2 inch over 90 degrees. It was making holding the bow awkward. That is why I had to adjust the tiller. Now, I have it at 1/8 inch above 90 degrees, which is very acceptable. My advice before any adjustments though is to check for clearence very carefully, don' t just eyeball them. I used lipstick, and footpowder spray and still had a hard time identifying any contact. Also, put a little piece of masking tape around the cable where the fins past. Lipstick will show on the tape better then the actual string. When you are 110% sure you have no contact, then move on. Also, remember that you are able to remove about an inch off your arrow because of the length of the turbo nock.

cgarrett, As far as them making noise, yes, I noticed that too. They are louder then feathers. But when I finally found where they were making contact on my rest, it quieted down a lot. I would check to be sure that you don' t have contact. As you have said, they are very non-forgiving, if they hit anything in flight.

It took me most of the day on Sunday to tune the bow correctly for the turbo' s. Hopefully within a few weeks I will be able to give you a full opinion on them. I want to give them a full chance. But, they will also have to shoot fixed boadheads well for me to use them. We will see.
