nock nock nockin' on heavens door
      #72066 - 21/02/07 04:36 AM



This is the gadget of the year, the new nock from NAP

New Archery Products introduced the New ThunderBall™ Magnetic Nocking System. Unlike conventional nock systems, this new magnetic nocking system virtually eliminates the effects of string torque and uneven nock travel for increased accuracy, better flight and deeper penetration. It is durable and installs in minutes. The ThunderBall™ Magnetic Nocking System has an index tab for fast and easy vane orientation and it fits most popular carbon and aluminum arrow sizes.

The ThunderBall™ Magnetic Nocking System will be available as a starter kit that includes the ball, 6 nocks, a wrench and a plastic nock for fletching. Also available are replacement packages in 12-packs for the nocks and a replacement ball package.

“This revolutionary system is so unique that all you need to do is position your arrow nock near the Fast Ball and it will literally nocks itself onto the string. By eliminating the effects of string torque and uneven nock travel, the archer will gain maximum performance in arrow flight,” states Bob Mizek, Director of Engineering for NAP.

For more information on all New Archery Products, contact: Tom Staszak, NAP, 7500 Industrial Drive, Forest Park, IL 60130 phone: (800) 323.1279 www.newarchery.com.

I can't say that is one gadget I would run out to buy and put on my arrows and string. All you need is the string loop they have there and some unibushings on the arrows.

Remember Jean-Bernard, the more you attach to the string the more you slow it down!

So ya got my two cents worth!

Ann

I agree.
The more your bow is adorned with gimmicks, the more you risk it fails at the crucial moment.

There is still leeway before using smart arrows.
That's the second archer's paradox : bowhunting to be close to the mother nature and at the same time using the best of the technology.

Larcher.

It has been years since I have owned a bow. I used to shoot a Fred Bear super Kodiak with the instinctive style (no sights). I was ok to about 25 yards. I loved the purity of recurve, but acknowledge its limitations. I would be willing to conceded to lighter, quicker more lethal arrows, but If I take up archery again – it will be with a recurve.
