    Anyone had a chance to use these yet? It doesn't look like they have been released yet but the video on their website looks very interesting. The nocks are great so hopefully this combo works well too. Any thoughts? Link to their page is below...

    That's what I'm wondering. I'm leery of a slide on fletching system however the video on their website makes them look awful good. I know the nocks are good but not sure about the fletchings. I think I'll stay with my NAP quick fletch stuff for now. I don't have a reason not to at this point.

    I have used these for the first time this year and I enjoy them. They perform well and are quiet.

    I contacted Nocturnal earlier this year asking if they can be used with a drop down rest or a whisker biscuit. The answer was, both can with no problem. Just have not yet pulled the trigger. Have not seen a single video of them in flight comparing them to plastic vanes or feathers. The ad say's better groups. OK lets see it. For now I will wait for more feed back.

    MAKWA I was looking at the m5 to buy before I bought the Chill R. I had sent an email to them asking some questions. Never got an answer back so that told me to forget about it. I was afraid of the return policy. I am in CT. I almost made the ride out, but can't answer an email. So I saved a 12hr ride and bought the Chill R. What can you compare it to? How quiet and steady is it? Thanks.
