The nice fellows at Nomad Warriors<\/a> sent me some various nocks to test out for speed shooting. Very helpful, because it’s hard to know what will work best for you! Thanks, guys. In return I’ll share the results of my testing, hopefully someone else can benefit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My “style” is holding arrows with thumb and middle finger, using the index finger to hold the arrow against the right side of the bow. The index finger is straight and ends up between two feathers, so there are three<\/strong> random ways for the arrow to “load” but only two<\/strong> ways for the nock to be attached to the string. So it’s necessary to either:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Twist slightly right<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Twist slightly left<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. No twist at all (the best)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In order to go very fast, it’s vital to know which direction you have to turn the arrow the instant the nock touches the string. Better yet, before<\/strong> it touches the string, and preferably without ever looking at the fletching – it’s better to keep your eye on the target. I’ll hopefully do a whole video on this technique soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A speed nock is designed to make this process easier, so you don’t struggle to know which way to turn – either by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Letting you know by feel how the arrow is oriented the instant you grab it<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Making twisting onto the string easier or more natural<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      So here’s my review!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
