I like the idea of the Parker Capture nocks as they cover the top and bottom of the string. No going over or under. I just looked at my Wolverine I think they would work but not sure I know they will for my Parker as they were designed for it. Parker does use a top latch trigger system.

Do you think these would work with an Excalibur trigger?

I ordered some GT Laser II arrows recently and when I got them I wasn't too happy with the way they came in. The front brass inserts were already glued in and the back nocks were plastic. :x I've been shooting Luminoks for several years without any issues, but still wanted the regular aluminum flat back nocks. I had to put in another order for some stuff, so when I did, I ordered a dozen aluminum back nocks. No real reason other than just call me an old fart resistant to change. :lol:

It sounds like you had exactly the same reaction as me when my first set arrived a few days ago haha, needless to say i am also going to be swapping the plastic nocks out for aluminium after some thought :)

When you do swap them out don't be surprised when you smell something burning on every shot.

No big deal, it's the aluminum nock riding along the aluminum arra channel. It's pretty well to be expected.
