I have to wonder why some archery magazine hasn't had an engineer detail the proper way to test this. Or has one
Straightarrow,
I think that is the issue in question. What is the "proper way"? Some folks in the industry believe that both the riser and limbs need to flex during an actual physical shot sequence in order to accurately depict how nock travel trully is on any given bow. Others feel that nock travel should be measured simply by drawing the bow back (via a machine ofcourse) and letting it down without actually "releasing the string".
Even if Norb were to post his opinion on one style of testing or the other then would that be enough to satisfy everyone? Probably not.
