nock tightness problem and arrow rest
« on: June 27, 2011, 04:37:00 AM »
Got a couple questions I need some help with.  

First of all I shoot FF string and axis arrow.  My nocks are extremely tight at which point I tried the boiling water method with little to no results.  I then obtained a small file and widled them down a bit but its touchy cuz if I take off too much the nock is so loose it won't even stay on the string at which point I have to try and crimp them back down.  Not sure of all the choices for nocks for axis (mite call 3rivers) but is there a bigger size nock I could get or another way of solving my problem?  Thnx

Second question is I shoot off the shelf and always have good arrow flight regardless of bow make/model.  However, I've never tried the idea of placing a small piece of whatever under the arrow rest and/or strike plate.  Is this something most of you do who shoot of the shelf?  I shoot a pronghorn 3pc mostly, but have a yellowstone and crooked stick as well.  Thnx again!
