Firenocks "J" nock question

[chuckinator]

Does anyone use Firenock's "J" nock with their Xbow? I had some custom Executioner bolts made at South Shore Archery and had the J nock installed to use on another bow. The nock seem to fit on the serving correctly, and no rise on the shaft when it attaches to the serving.

I use them on my MXB320, i haven't used them out of my Excals as of yet

Tried em in my Vortex, using self made sting, no problem; also use em in two Missions. Great nock but the center serving has to fit it's opening, and if you're serving is larger in diameter than that specified (See the Firenock web site) it won't work

Cossack when you say "won't work" what specifically happens? right now it makes a snap as it goes on the string, just like when I place an arrow on my vertical compound bow.

He is talkin about the servin dia. on string n the nock slot. They must fit properly, no forced onto string nor so loose they won't have resistance

The J nock is made specifically for the Mission bows line but it can work on other bows. It's opening allows the Mission string to pass through it's opening, the "wing" are also shorter too accommodate the Mission triggerbox. If the Mervin diameter is larger than the nock opening the nock will not allow it to pass between it's wings, preventing the nock from being against the string, thus creating a situation ripe for a partial dryfire. And if it's smaller, the nock won't function as a capture nock. i.e. won't 'snap' onto the bowstring...but it still will shoot. Firenock also makes the Q nock with a slightly different opening size and longer wings for other bows. The size of the openings is detailed on their site.

Got it, thanks!
