    Riddle me this...

    So I practice with Luminox's nocks on my Easton FMJ arrows and will switch bows from my Mathews Chill-R to a new Hoyt Carbon Spyder Turbo. Luminox light by being pushed into the arrow once you release it, which is great to see the true flight of the arrow. They'll light every time being shot through my ChillR but hardly ever or not at all when I shoot them through the Carbon Spyder. Both bows are set at #63 and I'm using the same arrows each. What gives?

    Does the Hoyt have an easier power curve (draw cycle)? Just spit balling....

    I think they both are the most aggressive cams each company makes.

    To answer your question. I'm not sure.

    How does the nock fit on the string? It code be the serving is slightly larger and preventing the button from being depressed.

    Both seem the same.

    The Mathews has a huge valley and the Hoyt has zero and the FPS is the same so I'm thinking the Hoyt's cams are just slinging the arrows very smooth and not pushing the nocks in where as the Mathews cams are more violent once it comes out of its valley and lights the nocks immediately.
