Bowtech Question

[TEAM SHARK]

Hey I am attempting to dial in what arrows to use for my bowtech destroyer and I was wondering how much each of the speed nocks weigh on my bow string. It appears there are a total of 6 speed nocks (3 above and below each cam).

Are they a typical weight of 6 grains/each?

I shoot a d340. How would knowing the weights of the speeds nocks help you pick your arrows?

Cause when you put into a calculator they want to know how much weight you have on your string. Just guessing this is what he is asking. But i dont think you include that as it is to help with speed.

Draw weight perhaps?

I am playing with different spine strengths and according to pinwheel software and some other archers, the weight of your string (peep, d-loop, nock), can affect the stabality and arrow spine you choose. In fact, after inputing all of my specifics (draw length, arrow length, etc.), the software indicates that if I want to use, for exampe, carbon express Mach 5 arrows then I will need to change my setup by removing weight from the front, add weight to the back, decrease draw weight, add weight to the string, pick a stiffer shaft, or increase brace height.

I know that I am getting technical, and I don't shoot as well as I would like, but with my new bow I really wanted to setup in correctly. I shot yesturday for the first time with carbon express maxima hunter (350), carbon express Mach 5 (250) and carbon express maxima blue streak (250). I have a 27.5 draw lenght and shoot a 26 inch arrow.

Sounds like a fun program to play with I might have to check it out. Is it free do you have link? I have shot about 6 different arrows with my 340 and carbon 3d selects 350's, easton axis 340, Gold tip xt hunter 7595, gold velocities 300's & 400's and FMJ 300's. None of them shoot as sweet as those FMJ's they are like darts.

On target2 by pinwheel. Google it. It is free to try for 15 days. I have one more day.

Which destroyer are you shooting? I can find the weight for you next week , I'll talk to bowtech for you. If your shooting 60 pounds I would think the 250 arrows would shoot good at your draw length or cut length you talked about.

I shoot the Bowtech Destroyer 340. My draw weight is set on maximum. The scale said it was 69.5 lbs.

Remember I only shoot a 26 inch arrow.

I wouldn't worry about those speed nocks using an archery calculator. They are close enough to the cam to essentially behave like extra weight on the cams. They produce a flywheel effect that speeds up the arrow. The speed nocks are important for maximum performance of the bow. Both the weight and position are important things to note when replacing the string. Make sure you know the distance from the cam they need to be when putting on a new string. They do make a difference in best performance of the bow.

The weights on the string the typical archery calculators are concerned with are the peep, kisser, silencers and loop. These weights slow things down.

Maybe I'm wrong but I don't think the pinwheel software makes the distinction between weight that increases speed and weight that decreases it.
