Yes I have seen them and use them.

They do exactly what they claim them to do :wink:


From memory I lost 7fps at the bow the difference was 3fps slower at 20 yards even at 25yards and the magnocks where faster over 30 yards then regular nocks.

Unfortunately I had a brain fart at 45 yards and got a double lung hit on my crono :cry:

I will be using them again when they start making them for the skinny AC Super Slims I am using now.

Bugger,
I bet if you had of bought a second hand one, it would still be alive today.

So you have used them. I hadnt even heard of them till the other day.
They slow you down, is that what you meant? Because they're heavy?

Thanks,
Mark

Mark.

The reason they are slower out of the bow is because there is a reciever that goes on your string that has a magnet in it and we all know the more weight you put on the string the slower the bow will be.

The actual nock that goes into the arrow only weighs around 5 grains but the reciever is from memory around 15 to 20 grains now a standard nock is in the 12 grain range.

But because the arrow leaves the string or should I say the reciever clean and evenly ( about 4 ounces of pressure) every single shot instead of a nock snapping off the string ( some nocks require up to 50 or 60 ounces of pressure) 99% of the archers paradox is taken out of the arrow which is why the arrow with the magnock is faster down range than a regular nocked arrow.

In other words the arrow does not waste a lot of its energy straightening itself out.

Does that make it as clear as mud or what :lol:

[Russell]

How can they increase arrow speed at 30 yards when they were slower out of the bow to begin with ? :? An arrow loses speed the further away from the bow , hence the trajectory curve .

Coach.

I know you are a smart guy :wink:

But if an arrow is using less energy to straighten itself out it will maintain more speed down range.

I will see if I can find the piece of paper I wrote the different speeds on at the different ranges for both the Gold tip lock nock and Magnock.

The test I done was back in 03 so I will have some digging to do.
