Yes, they do work, but I still can't bring myself to shoot them. I like the way feathers look.

Yes Turbo Nocks do work. I shoot them and they are great. You will have to shoot them with a drop away rest or a containment rest like a GKF Funnel rest to get clearance.

I never really liked them much when shooting fixed broadheads.

They do work if you have a drop away rest or a biscuit rest.

They did help my accuracy, but they are hard plastic and easy to break when hit by another arrow.

There are clearance problems with some bows. I could not use them with my Mathews Icon because they hit the cable.

The inventor, Nick Shook, is a great guy. I met him at one of the sportsmens shows earlier this year.

Right now I plan to stick with plastic vanes. But if the price comes down to be more competive with vanes, I may give them another try.

yeah well dont knock something unless you have tried them!

The turbo Nocks do work very well with fixed blade broad heads.

Feather and vane fletching does not stabilize the shaft by spin only. It is the entire surface area of the fletch imparting a counter-force against the forces being put upon the shaft. I just cannot accept that the small and stiff wings on this nock can do the same.

Maybe for some, but not for me. Like C903 said, spinning is only part of the equation.
