Nock 2009

[Bridget Peral]

Surethere were some good bows made during that time, but there were also many bad ones. The companies making lemons are mostly out of business now. The ones that are still with us remedied their ways very quickly.

Vertical nock travel (up or down as the string zips forward) arises from poor cam-timing, the result of poor cam design or the stretch of one harness versus the other. For most of us, a poorly timed two-cam bow was our first introduction to nock-travel problems. Then, someone showed us that the cams reached their designed full-draw positions at different points in the draw cycle. Then, that someone showed us how to fix it with a few twists to the longer harness. We were shooting great again.

I still time all of my bows whether they have single, hybrid or binary cams. You do this by twisting up the correct cable (control cable or buss cable) to ensure the cams are at the correct rotation at full draw to produce level nock travel.

Jim McGinn, VP of Marketing at Realtree, shows off the latest camouflage pattern from this industry giant. The new APX pattern is an all-purpose pattern that will help you blend into your surroundings whether you're in a treestand hunting whitetails, or bellycrawling your way into range of a mule deer out West. It took years to develop APX, a pattern that met the strict standards of Realtree Founder, Bill Jordan, and it will meet your standards as well.

Ryan Busbice from Buck Commander introduces a brand-new technology they call Buk Ops. This is an optical viewing device that does not use infra-red or thermal technology. It maximizes available light to give the user an enhanced view of their surroundings. It's not a targeting device either, but a tool for scanning fields in low light, or even walking into your stand or blind without a flashlight. This is one-of-a-kind technology that holds many uses for all types of hunters.

Bowhunter TV Host, Curt Wells, talks to Easton Marketing Director, Gary Cornum, about the Sonic 6.0, a highly versatile arrow shaft that gives the bowhunter multiple options. Wells explains how he's able to convert his Sonic 6.0 arrows to different weights based on the species of big game he's hunting.

Gary Cornum, Marketing Director at Easton, explains to Bowhunter TV Host, Curt Wells, the virtues of Easton's newly released Match Grade Pro Series Arrows. From front to back, Easton has built their latest technologies into these arrows, which are only available from Easton dealers. Everything from high-end inserts and vanes combine with a five-point straightness standard to make the Pro Series arrows the best a bowhunter can buy. It's no longer necessary to build-your-own to achieve the highest quality arrow you demand.

On the surface, it would seem almost impossible to keep improving the Double Bull ground blinds manufactured by Primos. But as Raised Hunting founder and television show host David Holder explained to OSG's Lynn Burkhead, this year's new Raised Hunting Double Bull blind raises the standard of ground blind excellence even higher, whether you're chasing elk, mule deer or pronghorn antelope out west in Montana or big record book whitetails living in the Midwestern whitetail paradise of Iowa.

For big game hunters on the move out West, or a whitetail hunter looking to spot and stalk into range with a rifle or crossbow, keeping the scope's crosshairs steady can be a challenge. But not anymore according to Primos Hunting's Jason Harris, who recently showed OSG's Lynn Burkhead all of the versatility of the new Primos Edge Tripod, a carbon-fiber, magnetic head support system that provides a quick, rock solid shooting platform when a pressure packed hunt's moment of truth arrives.

No matter your budget or standard, QAD has an arrow rest for you. Kevin Fry, VP at QAD, goes through their line of arrow rests that range from the high-end $300 MX2 to their economy model that retails for just $75. Every model of arrow rest is made entirely in the U.S.A. and comes with a lifetime warranty.

Primos Game Calls is one of America's most iconic call makers, and according to Eric Hughes, that's the whole idea behind a brand new call lineup. In an ongoing introduction through a variety of game call styles, including deer calls, elk calls, predator calls, and of course, turkey calls. With that call-making DNA, Hughes spent some time telling OSG's Lynn Burkhead about the new Icon call line-up being unveiled by Will Primos and his Mississippi call making company and how it will take call making to the next level.

Steven Fuller, Marketing Director at Dryshod boots, goes through their line, from hunting boots to chore boots to knock-around shoes, they have it all, and the focus is on ultralight construction. The hunting line of knee-high boots have neoprene that is treated to be extra waterproof, and the outsole material is noticeably lighter than most boots of this type, making them good for hiking and packing when weight is a concern.

T.R.U. Ball/Axcel has taken some of its most popular release aids and bow sights and created the new-for-2024 Tactical Bowhunting Series, a collection of products optimized for the field where stealth and performance under pressure are keys to success.

However, if i run them together using Mocha in a single suite they fail. Believe the issue is that Nock hijacks the global http object for a given URL and each test (running asynchronously at the same time) is competing for the same global response reference.

1). I had async testcases but was using beforeEach() without the done param. This was then causing the URL collisions. By explcitly declaring each beforeEach(done) and invoking done() Mocha will run in serial order and there is no longer an issue.

2). Be sure that if you have more than one test in same testsuite file, that any Nock fixtures you set in a previous test actually get executed IF you have declared the same URL in a subsequent test with alternate response. If the prior nock fixture doesn't get invoked then nock STILL retains the response from the wrong test (the previous one). This was my primary problem. You could argue that tests should not have any fixtures declared if they don't get run - but you could also argue this is still a bug in the way Nock works. The test fixtures were each isolated in their own describe / beforeEach(done) functions..

Update 2 days later... OK point 2). just bit me again, and I was pleased I wrote the note above to remind myself about this hard to debug issue. If you are using Mocha and Nock together be aware of this issue!!

Been bare shaft testing a gt trad.7595, 100 gr. insert,300 gr.field point and a arrafoot footing.Still getting nock left but getting closer.(shaving off a 16th of a inch now).Cant seem to get the nock to go down.Moved my string nock up and down and I still get nock high.Am I missing something?

I shoot 3 fingers under and have found that some bows will just shoot nock high no matter what. And most bows shoot a little nock high. According to the experts (book writing types) a little nock high is OK.

I usually just take an arrow and hold it against the bow at the end of the riser. I hold the arrow such that my fingers mark the length. Then I move the arrow to the other end of the riser and repeat the process. This time I take note of the difference in length.

If you start with the upper limb, and then move to the lower limb, you will usually have a gap between your fingers and the string, indicating that the lower limb is closer to the string and stronger.

Finally, really pay attention to indexing all of your nocks perfectly so they are all passing over your rest in the exact same position. If your nocks are really tight in the back of your arrow shaft when you try to index them, do not use your teeth to rotate them and do not snap nocks to the string and twist the whole arrow to rotate the nock. Doing these things will bend the ears of the nocks and cause them to all fit differently. Always use a nock tool. Trust me, this is very important! If you do experience a really tight nock fit in your arrow shaft, you can apply a small amount of string wax on the end of the nock prior to installing it to help it turn more freely so you can index it properly.

Remember, nocks are a wearable item that are fairly fragile, yet absolutely critical to accuracy! Spending the time properly evaluating, installing and adjusting your nocks can be the difference between connecting on that buck or bull of your dreams or going home empty handed.
