problem with arrow flight
 

Can some one explain this, I'm shooting 27" carbon express maxima hunters 250 and 350s with 100 grain slick trick heads out of a mathews xt 70 lb 26" drawand they are dead on at 20 to 40 yards, but when I install lumenocks or archers flame nocks they cork screw and hit 4" left,and when I put the others back inthere dead on. Do you think my foc is off and maybe I should go with a heavier head.I don't have any 125s this is why I"m asking. Thanks for any info

Do the luminocks or AF nocks fit on the string tighter than the CX nocks?

Not sure but will check,thanks Jimpic

I think FOC could be a real possibilty especially with the weight (check on that, but they are heavy IMO) of the LN on the rear end of the arrow.

Thanks for the reply BobCo19-65 I think I try some heavier heads

Just remember that you may have a spine issue then. Although from what I hear, carbons are not all that sensitive to spine.

let me explain my above post - I get rid of ANYTHING that makes my arrows fly badly.

I'd love to shoot wood shafts - cant keep them absolute straight. I'd love to shoot 3" vanes, my big feathers stabilize my arrows better. I'd love to use all enamel paints on my caps/crowns, don't bond well.

I get rid of that stuff, I use what I've found to be bomb proof

I'd rather shoot what works than what I would like to shoot that doesn't

OK , Buster t. I under stand your point butI'm just toying around with these light nocks,andI agree 100% with anything that causes bad arrow flight get rid of it. But would still like to knowwhat the problem is. Thanks tj craig for the info

I think they could be used as a pretty good tool for the trad person. I know of an instinctive shooter that shoots in the dark at a target lighted by a laser pointer. To me, since there is no immediate feedback, I don't understand why he does this unless he is just trying to see how accurate he can be in the dark. But I bet with one of these lighted nocks, you could get a real good feel for the trajectory of the arrow. That is as long as it is flying true.
