It definitely can make a difference.  Fiddle all you want lots of folks enjoy that part of the sport.  That and the sponsors appreciate the business.  Ignore the grumpy types, they already have their systems down.

What I was trying to say is that I increase the nock weight in the Stu Calculator program, because the nock end is now heavier.

Some of you guys must have alot cleaner form than I do as I cant tell the difference in my arrows that are bare, capped and crested or wraped. All the same length, point weight and inserts, all fly the same, all with the same POI...................
Bowhunting is "KILL and EAT" not "Catch and Release".....Semper Fi!
