Guest BaerBucks18 Posted February 8, 2005 Report Share Posted February 8, 2005 Has anybody heard of the new magnocks. It is a type of nock that attaches your arrow to the string magnetically. This supposively causes the arrow not to bend upon release....but to stay straight.....which will give you a smoother and more accurate flight. I dont have any idea if this is a good product that would actually work, but I heard about it so I thought i'd see what you guys thought about it. Check it out Magnock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GWSmith Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Re: Magnock These are some pretty interesting claims here: The bow was connected to a custom built shooting machine at PSE. The bow is drawn and shot mechanically so there is no human element to change the shot. The first arrow shown was shot with the conventional G-nock. There is an obvious, visible flex in the arrow shaft. The next arrow shown was the same arrow shot with the Magnock magnetic nock. The arrow shaft flexing virtually disappeared! The only difference between the two shots shown is the nock. The bow, the arrow, the draw... are identical. This is video proof that the Magnock system virtually eliminates arrow shaft flexing, thus providing the arrow a consistent, straight flight.

Guest BaerBucks18 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Re: Magnock So do you guys think that it would be worth it to give it a shot. I mean would it really make that much of a differece in accuracy? 5shot, did you just decide to stick with your regular nock. Could you tell the difference? How much did it cost? Thanx for your opinions guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BaerBucks18 Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Re: Magnock I was just thinking....and I thought that if the magnock makes it so the arrow doesnt bend upon release....wouldnt that help the problem with carbon arrows exploding?

GWSmith Posted February 9, 2005 Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 Re: Magnock My question is how can a nock change the spine of an arrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BaerBucks18 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 Re: Magnock Thanks for your info.....I agree with the fact that you would have to learn a whole new system with these nocks....but i hope i get the chance to maybe test them out because it would just be cool to see what they are like.

spikekiller Posted February 11, 2005 Report Share Posted February 11, 2005 Re: Magnock I switched to the magnock this past year and they performed great....this was the first year that i didnt have to tweek my bow to get broadhead hitting with my field points....they flew great. the only down side is the receiver slows down your arrow speed a little.....great product John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I bought mine from the web site....Chris is a super fast shipper and his customer service is second to none...when i first got mine i didnt tie the reciever on properly and it flew off and lost the magnet....he replaced it no questions asked...since then i had no problems......once in a while you see used ones at archerytalk classifieds but not often. They run about 22.00 for a doz....the nocks them selfs have a lifetime warrenty....even if you hit with another arrow.....just sent them back with 2.00 for shipping and they replace them. If try them and dont like them you can always sell them and get part of your money back as they are pretty popular esp over at archerytalk.com If u have any other questions let me know John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant-KS Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Re: Magnock I like mine! I've been shooting them for... probably about two years now. I think they are worth the money. For me, they just make sense. Archery is all about consistency, doing the exact same thing every time. I believe that these nocks do just that. Just a sidenote that doesn't mean much, but I took my system off for a bit to see what the difference was, and on the first shot, I was surprised at how much more the bow and string vibrated from the nock snapping off the string. I paid $20 for my set on their site about 2 years ago. You won't find a nicer guy than Chris to deal with if you ever have a problem. If you break it, they'll replace it. With the exception of some of their 3D and C-nocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a whole drawer full of gadgets that i didnt like but the magnock isnt one of them. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinwheel5 Posted February 13, 2005 Report Share Posted February 13, 2005 Re: Magnock Grant can tell you that I have been shooting them for a long time, porbably 2 1/2 to 3 years and I still love them. They make tuning broadheads alot easier due to the less flex of the shaft thus reducing the ability of the blades to catch air. I always wait until I bust 3 or 4 of them before i send them back to save on shipping. They do slow you down some but you can shoot lighter arrows to catch back up.
