I've been shooting at 15yds lately, today moved it back to 10yds and broke my first nock! So I moved it back to 20yards, which I haven't really tried and was actually shooting okay at that distance. Last three were in about a 3-4" group. Still plenty of work to do, but I'm at least encouraged.

I know this isn't a huge deal, but at least you folks will understand. My wife really didn't get it at all  :dunno:

Nice shooting!

My wife is the same way. Well now what more arrows? I tell her well just busting a nock is cheap,but when you start cracking the carbons or ruining the arrows it gets expensive.

It's still a good feeling though. Keep after it! :archer2:

I'll risk it on nocks :-) $20 for 100 at 3 rivers

If it starts to be a regular thing, I'll have to adjust my plans - there a worse problems to have!

If you ever figure out those wives please let the rest of us how to do it. I've been trying for the last 48 years and still don't get them.

Pretty sure I'm closer to being Howard Hill than I am to figuring wives out  :help:

I only shoot one arrow at a time, but busting a nock would have to be dumb luck for me!
