Flat nocks for Parker Arrows

I have some Parker Arrows I am converting over to flat nocks. I tried cutting the ears off but can't get them square. I took them out just by pulling them out with pliers. Parker told me they have a .297 ID and the arrows are made by Beeman. Can anyone tell me which flat nocks to get? Will the Ten P...

Thanks bstout. I wasn't sure about the speeds because it was my first time using the chrony and wasn't sure if it was set up right. Then when my new compound bow only showed 205 fps it sort of worried me. You're right about the Vixen being a pleasure to shoot and it doesn't wear you out doing it.

Shot some today

I have not shot my Vixen for about 9 months so I decided to get it out and do some shooting. Had to clean the dust off of it first. I had put a new factory Dacron string on it to stretch out when I put it up last year and it had not moved off the mark closest to the scope. I shot 4 Gold Tip Laser II...

I have a question about the crankaroo that maybe someone has tried and can answer for me. Can the crankaroo be used in the horizontal position or does it have to be used in the vertical with your foot through the bow's stirup? If it could be used in the horizontal it would save the trouble of gettin...

I have been thinking about getting a chrony. Do you all find the ProChrono Digital better than the Shooting Chrony F1 or is one about as good as the other? Thanks.

Was watching Outdoor Guides on VS earlier this week and saw him hunting gators and hogs. Didn't catch the location though.

Rich, Not sure if it's a fair price. Guess it depends on how good the work is and what you are willing to pay. Here's the web page for the trigger job in Virginia.

Rich - I bought a trigger sear spring on ebay awhile back that reduced the trigger pull on my 1100 quite a bit and made it better for shooting slugs. Didn't do much for the creep though. It's around $8.00. There's another listing on ebay for a custom trigger job for $30.00. says he can take out the ...

Just curious, are you all putting the Blazers on straight or with the 4 degree offset? I got some for Christmas and was just wondering about that before I try them. Thanks!

Exocet, the Sidewinder is a Quiver Adapter, not a Quiver. You can mount any quiver you want. I have the new model Excalibur Quiver mounted to it and works great. It comes with 1" bolts to mount the quiver block to it but I had to get 1 1/4" bolts. Here's a link so you can see what they loo...

Think I saw the Sidewinder at Bass Pro last week. Didn't notice the price. I bought one last year at Academy Sports, they had them on closeout for $7.00. Figured I give it a try as I like to keep extra stuff off my bow. Works great. Wish I had bought two of them back then.
