A Winning Combination- Turbo Nocks/ NAP Nitron!

Turbo Nock Hunter Vane - A+
NAP Nitron - A+

Being part of Team Turbo Nock I was curious on what broadhead I was going to use this fall for hunting. After lots of indecision I finally put my thoughts behind the NAP Nitron.

At first look this head is very small looking. Once I got a three pack home from my local Cabela's store (I only live 15 miles west of the Dundee, MI store), I opened them up.

My second observation is the fact they are VERY SHARP out of the box. Let me tell you you don't need much pressure to shave the hairs off your arm.

My third observation is the fact they have one continuous steel ferrule from tip to the end of the insert thread. These broadheads look VERY STRONG and DURABLE. The blades are individually locked down with one screw. The screws are tiny I might add as well.

Yesterday, I took my Morell Six Shooter out in the backyard and tried shooting my Beman ICS Hunters tipped with the Nitrons into the target. I am pulling back about 68# on my Mathews Outback and have the Turbo Nock Hunter vanes as well.

On my NFAA Five Spot target I hit the 5-Spot on all three targets with two Dead X's. This was consistent at 30 yards as well. Therefore, these baby's definitely fly like by 100 pt field tips with no need for any form of tuning adjustment.

What a great combination! The Turbo Nock is a great new innovation by Nick Snook and is not some fad that will go away. The T Nock by virtue of the added arrow spin is very accurate and with a small broadhead like the Nitron hooked on the tip, it proves to be a deadly combination this fall.

I've seen the turbo nocks in the Cabela's cat. but didn't understand how these work.
Do they eliminate the fletching or are they used along with regular vanes?
I would think it would be the latter,but the description seems to imply that they do away with the vanes all-together.

They do away with vanes all together.
On another point, all broadheads fly just like fieldpoints...it's a matter of having the correct tune. You just happened to have the correct tune...don't advertise these as something that will require absolutely no tuning to get the same POI as fieldpoints as not everyones setup is perfect. This kind of advertising will just have guys srewing on a head and not even practicing with it before they go out in the woods, thinking that their bow will shoot them just fine...in reality a couple of them may, but a majority will not, this will result in a lot of unrecovered/wounded animals.

Bryan you bring up a very important point. Why do you think I start practicing with broadheads and tuning already here in July/August.

You are very correct, no one should just stick a broadhead on an arrow and think it will work without tuning. But many non technically minded hunters will have little time for fine tuning. My comments about the Turbo Nock and NAP Nitron are conveying a positive combination and not the be all to end all.

By the way, nice post about broadhead tuning the other day.

I wasn't trying to flame you or anything...it was more of a disclaimer...kind of like they have at the end of radio adds....you know, where the people talk very very fast and you can't understand them anyways.

Well fellow turbonock team member, did your tuning for the new steering device at the tail end of the arrow go as smoothly for you as it did me? These Turbonocks are amazing...and the new nylon material is just incredible. I've got my deadx equiped carbon express arrows guiding a rocket ultimate steel 75 grain broadhead with fieldpoint accuracy...and they just look so cool at long distance shooting.

Bryan,
You are absolutely right about Turbo Nocks. At first I was going to ditch the T Nocks and use the new Bohning Blazer vanes this fall in the good ol' Michigan Woods. But after shooting the T Nock Hunters and slamming the target dead nuts in the center enough times I am going to definitely be having T Nocks on my arrows come October 1st!

To many, the T Nocks will always be a crazy fad. But if you work enough with them you will be amazed at their innate ability to steer an arrow more accurately down the line to the target. I don't know about you, but with even a pretty serious crosswind the T Nocks really do stablize the flight better compared to conventional vanes.

Also, no offense taken for your "disclaimer". Based on your previous posts you have a lot of good advice
