Carbon Express Maxima - standard CX nock.

 

Following, curious as to opinions.

 

following. Interested in trying pin nocks soon

 

All I ever use are standard. No reason to add weight to the back, and only knocks I've ever broken broke at the groove, not at the shaft.

For Target I have seen the odd one deflect off a pin bushing, but 100% of those arrows that got hit were still trash.

 

they all work for hunting.

i use the zenith upgrade on my bitz for fletching arrows. so for anything other than a .166 shaft in use a bushing for a G nock. i prefer the deep six nocks, they are lower profile and stronger. if you want lighted nocks, youll want to stay with a .204 or larger shaft.

 

I prefer pin bushings. They've saved several of my arrows from receiving damage after near robinhoods. I put them on all my arrow.

I have no idea what I'm doing........ ever

 

I use beiter pin nocks for daily practice arrows and beiter Hunter nocks or lit nocks for hunting. Nice thing about the beiters is the pin and Hunter have the same nock fit. Pin nocks have saved me $100s just in the last two years. I like to shoot groups as a confidence thing, and so they save me quite a few impacts. I have a whole ziploc full of bent pins and broken nocks for last two years.

 

Are lighted nocks allowed in your area? I find them to be very beneficial when hunting

 

Ive got a dozen arrows with pin nocks and a dozen with standard nocks. I prefer the standard. I feel like the pin nocks fall off and don't hold up as well as the standard nocks.
plus i dont see much of a performance difference between the two, even though the pin nocks are on arrows with better straightness tolerance (.006 arrows with standard) & (.003 arrows with pins)

 

I prefer the uni bushing of regular nock for hunting. Pin nocks are generally more fragile than regulars. As to a unibushing, it gives you the robustness of a standard nock with just that little extra protection at the back of the arrow.

 

Pins and bushings get hit and the nock destroyed, but the vast majority of the time the arrow is saved. I use them for all of my arrows. It cost too much to not use them.

 

Beiter Hunter. Comes as normal nock and pin variety. Tried pins but will use just normal insert nock in future. I can get the exact same nock for every shaft out there with Beiter so that's a bonus.

 

I have been using Easton Deep Six nocks with a bushing for several years and they seem to work really good
