The long awaited nock receiver for the Bitzenburger jig is ready to ship. Go to the Zenith Archery Products web site at www.zenitharchery.com for pricing and ordering details. Thanks for all of your patience.
Shown below is a picture of the kit. There is a new receiver body and 2 inserts, one for Uni Bushings and one for Super Uni Bushings, nock pins and all carbon arrows which accept the Easton size 60 components. There is also an adjustable arrow support plate, with mounting template and hardware, to support the upper end of the shaft. All fletching is done before installing your nocks. Using this method allows the arrow to be held securely for a more consistant fletch spacing.

Ok Joe, got my recievers today, and have 2 questions..........

1) Does the bushing for the Super Nock seat all the way down to the shoulder where I have placed the red dot? Seemed a bit tight to get it all the way down there.........

2) To fletch X-10's with pins, do these simply push down into the center of the Super Nock Reciever? It was also a bit tight, not a bad thing I guess, just wanted to insurethis is what you intended........

Josh,
Due to the variations in the size of both the nock pins and the Uni and Super Uni bushings, as seen through various manufacturers and different batches from the same manufacturer, the size of the inserts is a compromise to allow both under and oversize components to fit. A slightly oversized bushing may fit all the way down to the shoulder, while an undersized one will fit only part way down. I wanted to avoid the situation where the insert would be too loose in the bushing. The saw cuts on the inserts are meant to allow some flexing while still maintaining a snug fit. If the hole for the pins gets forced open too far and the pins start to fit too loosely, use the small carbon ring over the very end of the insert. The carbon ring won't stretch and the pins will fit tightly again.
You'll have to note how far down on the insert to arrow is fitting and adjust the position of your fletch in the clamp or slide the clamp up or down to get the correct uniformity.
Hope this answers your question.

Thanks Joe, I have noticed that cobalts will seat all the way to the shoulder, but would caution all to be careful when using Cobalts, as the Super Swage has been known to crack. My black X7's will seat maybe half-way down the insert, but all seat to approximately the same spot, so I just put a reference line on it to show me where to hit.

My X-10 pins were very tight, maybe after a little use, I am sure she will "break-in" a bit, so all is well.

All in all, the kit is a great addition to the Bitz. The X-10 I tested on came out with seemingly perfect spacing. Something that was hit or miss before....

Thanks for the work Joe, it is a great solution to an annoying problem.....

Couple of tips:

Set mine up to test out on a half dozen x-cutters w/ pin nock adapters. I had aligned the template on perfectly b/4 drilling holes (V-notch line up nice) plus dremelled open the original v-notch, but shaft wouldn't quite sit in it no matter how it was adjusted. No big deal......looked like there would be plenty of room to drill another hole to make the shafts fit nicely......but then I noticed that the new v-plate is asymetrical, so I just flipped it around (backward) and it can be adjusted perfectly for the x-cutters.

Also, my pins fit really snug. If your using wraps and don't want to gouge them against the magnets, use 2 hands when pulling them out - pushing with your thumb and forefinger down by the adapter and pulling with the other hand.....gives you a bit better control.....just ask me.....I wrecked the first perfect arrow that came off of it.

Pete,
The pin fit could be snug for one companies pins and a little loose for another's. I didn't have one of each brand to check but found tolerences of about +/- .0005 in my CX pins. The thing to do is to take a discarded nock pin and put it in a shaft. Use this to loosen the fit by wobbling it in the hole until your good pins fit just right.
A perfect fit will require a little adjustment. The same applies to the extremely large sizes of the fat shafts. Thanks for the feedback

Yep....just like anything else.....just takes a little tinkering. The end result is worth it. Great product Joe!

Any chance to get a insert for use of Easton Axis/Beman MFX with HIT?

Bitz Upgrade

Set mine up tonight to do some 30-X`s. Works perfectly. Thanks for a great upgrade at a reasonable price Joe. Will really make the ACC`s much more reliable to fletch, no doubt. If the shafts are hard to remove, as previously mentioned, and one likes the very snug fit, the insert could easily be removed from the reciever when a shaft is completed and then removed from the pin to prevent scuffing of wraps or crests on the very fat shafts with close clearances to the magnets...

Try the 3-28 or 1516 Uni-bushings. The 3-28 will have to be turned down to fit but I'm not sure about the 1516. The Beiter nock chart lists their 1516 nock as also fitting the Easton Axis. If it's a little small, some Teflon tape or Saran wrap may do the trick. Remember, you'll only be using the bushing for fletching so it doesn't have to be perfectly true.
If it turns out that there's a big need for another insert, it could be done. I'm going to wait until the upgrade's been out there for awhile before making that decision.
