I was wondering if anyone has used turbo nocks? If so are they any good? Thanks fredrod

Yes I have and no I dont use them any more

500magman, did you have a drop away rest?
fredrod

yes I used a limb Driver and also tryed a Drop Zone

A friend of mine likes them quite alot.

The first versions of these were very brittle. Apparently they have gone to a more flexible plastic now.

They are great for bows with Whisker Biscuit style rests. They withstand going through the bristles better than any fletching. Also apparently this action really gives the arrow a twist boost. You loose a little speed but those arrows are really spinning when they leave the bow.

For a drop away rest I much prefer the blazer vanes. The turbonocks will reduce your FOC so if your setup can't take that don't use them.

I had to rais my nocking point 1.1625" from whare it was to get them to tune and had to drop a shaft spine, Invested $150+ to get them to work in my rig so went back to my good old vanes never had a problem with them

I am a little bow ignorant, what is FOC?

FOC = Front of center balance

For broadhead flight it usually needs to be at least 10% on the lighter carbon arrows.

I think I might just get me an arizona ez fletch and some blazers and stick with fletching.

The Arizona EZ fletch works fine with Blazers. That's how I put them on. Just don't push the tightening ring down too hard or you will wrinkle them.

Forget the Turbo Nocks, been there and done that!! Now happily using Blazers and a Whisker Biscuit.

Turbo nock is good consider when u do lots of shooting in the same spot.Cos it's suppoae to protect your nock been broken by the movemment of a snaking arrow.

thanks for the info, blazers it is, but I am using a drop away rest.
