RE: angling the nock ?
What exactly to mean by angling the nock? You mean nocking the arrow high in relationship to a true perpendicular nock height on the string? Or indexing your feathers at odd angles? I cannot imagine how it would be illegal... only thing I know of even related to it that is "illegal" is string walking in traditional class bow shoots... but thats target shooting only.

Oh sure, come here talking about something like this and don't have a clue. 
Now that you have everyone wondering what the heck you are talking about you have got to go have a talk with your son and report back to us.

We have used the sling method, with our regular shotguns and steel shot to kill ducks out to and even over 100 yards on the wing. Its really not even fair... which is why we hardly do it anymore.... more of just an old times there are not forgotten thing. Most older waterfowlers or anyone related to older market hunters probably knows what I'm talking about... kind of a closely guarded secret.
