You Q2 is the only bow that has a cable clearance problem. and it is not adjustable.
Virtually all other bows on the market have been shot with the TURBO and no problem.
I have had about six shooters have problems with the Q2.
and do not recomend the TURBO for that bow.

Main reason I haven't tried them is that it appears they will not clear the string and cables or the riser. I would hate to hit the string and cable at "mach 1" with the hard fins. I would think they would be pretty hard on a string if they impacted it. I shoot a Q2.
You wont have a problem with the t4's , check them out . Im not pumping Nicks probuct , but seriously I dont know how pepole can put down a product they haven't tryed themselves . Reminds me of the Wisker Bisquet rest , pepole hammered it allso without even trying it , and the thing works great .

If the T-4's are the nocls with a twist?
Do they release the arrow in a right wing fashion?

My hunting pardenr was asking about them and he fletches left hand and I mentioned a possible conflict in spin.
Are they fletch direction dedicated?

Well over a year ago I ordered a dozen turbos from the website. Got them in a timely maner which was great..no problem there. I shot at that time a SQ2, and after shooting a half a dozen and not getting good flight. Well I started checking things over and noticed that the vanes were hitting the cable. Guess what happens when these babies hit a cable? Yep slice it. Had to get a new cable installed on my bow before I would dare shoot it again. It looked like it would clear the cable when I checked it before firing the first shot, but I was wrong. I called the number on the website and told them of my fustration with cutting of the cable on my bow.[:@] The resoponse I got was, oh that's too bad, never heard of that before, and not really our problem kind of a thing. Not really the response I was looking for in a new company trying to get a good name in the bussines. They are now in the city landfill, and needles to say will not be buying anymore of this product. So, when Nick is saying he has only heard of 6 shooters having this problem and only with a Q2,,,,guess I don't believe him since I talked to them personally a couple of times about this problem with my bow. Buyer beware that they will clear your cables, if not you will be on the way to the archery store for some new strings for your bow.
Just my experience with them.

Hey Btomlin . since the nocks you have will not suit your bow. If you return them to me I will send you some t-4s that will work with your regular fletched arrows.
And will work with the bow.
just send them to TURBO NOCK, inc
165 south 4th st, Hughesville pa.
put in a little note mentioning this web string so I know when I get them . and a return address

Bear Guy. I apologize for your frustration with the problem you had. I remember your calls. This is no excuse but at the time I was on some painkilers for a medical problem and was not thinking clearly for a few days. the stuff was oxycotin or something like that and it really changed my personality.
Let me know what your strings cost and I wll take care of them and refund your money on the nocks.
Again I apologize

Thanks for the response Nick. Not too many guys in this business would offer what you did to fix the problem I had with the turbos. I sent a pm to you, don't worry about the strings. Mighy kind of you but that has been some time ago and have a different bow now. Thanks though.

The archery business needs more people like this! Ready to help fix a problem instead of the usuall blow off.
Thanks

Well I went to the mail box a couple of days ago and there was a pack from Turbo Nock. Nick sent me a dozen T-4's and a half a dozen T-4's in the glow. Well it took a whole 5 minuites or so before they were flying through my back yard. They shoot great. I set up my paper tuner and shot a few arrows through it, no problem shot a bullet on the second shot. I shoot a string loop and had to spread it apart a bit to accomidate the thicker nock without pinching at full draw. Took them to a 3D shoot on Sunday and shot a good round, and tied the guy that usually wins the thing. I also shoot blazer vanes. The talk of the archery shoot wasn't the 30mph winds and some rain, but it was these arrows. Nobody around here carries the new stuff, so everybody wanted to see how the arrows shot. So we started shooting a deer at 110 yards or so, just so everyone could see how they fly. I couldn't believe it when I actually hit the thing on the 5th shot. Got an 8 too!! The T-4's really put some spin on them arrows, everybody noticed that. I busted a couple of arrows doing this as we forgot about all the rocks in the ground and backstop. Oh well! haha I ended up leaving the shoot with a few less turbos by giving some to friends to try out, and never got back![&:]. Everyone (me included) was impressed with how these arrows flew in the strong wind. They didn't drift as much as the other arrows people were flinging at the deer.

Thanks Nick for sending these to me, looks like I will have to order some to replenish my stock! And I bet a few more shooters will be shooting them next season when I go back.
