Nocturnal "S", shoots less than 1 inch low (average) at 30 ydsI was given a sample of the Accunock a few years ago. Looks pretty neat, though the technology is older than one might think. Seems a guy gave me a sample back around '93 or '94 with the same principle though I do not know what happened to him. Guess it could have been the same guy. I have yet to shoot an arrow with one. I'm intrigued enough I might give them a thorough work up this off season since the new Carbon Express nocks are horrible! And I am just about out of my Easton Micro Lite and Old clear CE. Was thinking I might have to go back to shooting ACC's just so I could get the X-Nock. Was that or make my own X-Unibushing for the Carbon Express shafts.1" difference at 30 yards changing nocks and adding the extra weight. That's not bad at all in my book Do you know what you ended up in FOC?

Ya know Rad, that most important thing is that they'd look cool if I ever got to shoot something, LOL.

He saw that lighted nock and walked over to it trying to figure out what that dang light was. He was so confused by it he stuck around long enough for me to put one in the right spot

That's not bad at all in my book Do you know what you ended up in FOC?Will measure out foc tomorrow. Don't mean to get off subject, but the accunocks did get me another 2 to 3 fps over the carbon x nocks. They are however, fragile. A few dozen shots and one part or another breaks. Not sure they are worth it. As mentioned the carbon x nocks leave some to be desired.

As mentioned the carbon x nocks leave some to be desired.Measured to tip if broad headAccunocks Gave me 8.9 FOCNocturnals gave 7.8 FOC1.1 differenceMy understanding is that 7 FOC is pretty minimal.Kinda surprised they were as close as they were.
Rad, I'm just over 12% FOC with my Axis 300's and 125gr broadheads now. Putting on a Nockturnal would certainly change that but I really don't want to go to a 150gr broadhead. My total arrow weight now is 480grs and penetration is excellent. Accuracy is super based on our discussions earlier this year when I was trying to make 340's work. Speed is 270fps according to my Pro Chrono. Helical Blazers. Giving up some speed but accuracy and forgiveness is way more important to me.
