okay there nockhuntinghoosier, i think i understand your stance here. you feel as though you have been slammed for shooting your particular knocks. i see no problem here. i, like you, will shoot at anything the target offers. a shadow, hole, ANOTHER NOCK, the tip of a twig etc......i also will shoot bright nocks until someone in the group pulls out the black stuff......then all bets are off.

in the grandest view of things, all things being equal, i shoot with and have shot with some very good shooters. i have never had a real problem with my or their equipment being torn up or shot up due to the bright nock thing. it would be tough enough to hit the small nock at 37.5 yards on a puking turkey, if you knew the yardage to the inch.....or even nearest 16th of an inch. most shooters i know just dont shoot that well. i know my arrows get rattled in the target from time to time, but that happens.

as for using a nock to aim off of being a reason to call another shooter a cheater, i would choose my words a little more wisely than calling them a cheater, even if i felt it to be true.....i would consider the other shooters resourceful, in that they are using all things available to them to accomplish the real goal of 3-d TARGET archery, to win the shoot........it is not deer hunting, but it is realistic practice....

sit back, relax, enjoy yourself out there shooting. chances are if you shot nocks with the distance wrote on them they would be safe in any target....remember, it is just a game we all love and love to play.......if you are making a living doing this, i may reconsider, but until you are paying for your house and a new 4wd truck with your money from archery wins, relax......you will enjoy this sport much more........
