I intentionally use a loose knock fit so this video was interesting. After shooting pinch grip for long enough I found I don't need knocks at all really.
So very little difference but most note worthy gain is consistency? I would be very interested in seeing if a heavier projectile would absorb that strings energy more effectively than a extremely light one. Perhaps you would see less vibration or a shorter vibration from the string ect. Sounds logical in theory anyways
I will probably get away from it but for now I just tye a small step of felt above the nock and the dress ( serve ) the loose ends. The I wax the felt with Burts chapstick. There are definitely some things I don't like about the setup up and consistency is not one of them. When I get better at twisting and serving strings I will work away from it. For now its my temp ( maybe ) solution and works well for now.
Really cool Ammon. How about checking out the deepower one piece broadheads that look like a qad? They are fantastic and only cost $20. They come in 100 or 125 grain. I think you will be impressed.
Either bear razorhead glue on or Jager screw in is all I use. I'll check these out but I shoot 175gr so it's hard to find good heads that weight! Lol 💩
Here's something else about tight nock-fit that I don't see mentioned much anywhere. Too tight nocks = stiffer dynamic spine, making tuning impossible.
People have literally been shooting knocks that do not click onto the string for thousands of years. Growing up I only ever shot Mercury knocks on wood arrows. They can be a bit inconvenient when you want to hang a bow in a treestand and use both hands for another task, but otherwise shoot great.
I am curious to see, how you can make a nock a better fit. I tried to widen nocks by heat treatment, which was a bad idea. Several of the nocks broke during shooting. One even broke during arrow release or shortly after. 😬
@@HamishGarland or: get a new string, until I am able and patient enough to replace the center serving. 😅 (the center serving got thicker over the years by moving tighter together 😬)

This is the definition of being nerdy. Love it!
I enjoyed this video, the fun humor reminds me of Home. It also explained details. That are important.
You guys have a great vibe. Very scientific yet also playfully humorous. Thanks for the data, friends.
Thanks for the video i will have to check my arrow knot
Drawbacks……. Get it?……. Get it?
Thank you!
BTW, you spelled motion wrong.
he got dyslexia lol

Pinch grip??? Surely not

Awesome stuff! 👌
I like it tight for extra feel when inserting into the slit

Very informative,thanks guys
Those chronos are hot garbage. Don't trust the numbers. Ive seen mine vary by 55+ fps shooting a compound, and I've seen 4 others with similar issues.

19 thousandths vs 12 thousandths is more than a 50% increase in serving wear
Tyvm 500 time. 😂 you guys rock
What about a pinch knock?
Awesome funny informative video , keep up the good work

You need to change the serving size or the number of strands in your string.

I make a new string every time I get different nocks.
You can widen a nock with a piece of folded sandpaper.
11:20 Yeah... Jerks are the worst! 😂
5,000 views, and 4,999 people heading to get their bows out and check how their knock feels
SCIENCE!!!!
If you spent as much time on your spelling as your nock experiments you'd be unstoppable.

If you guys would quit horse playing it would help your video a whole lot.
Yeah - it's painful
Ill need to check the Mys nock , its a bit slack and the string doesn't touch the sides if you know what i mean 😂😂😂
