[QUOTE="NewbieNewbie, post: 2011592, member: 116020"] Hi thank you to everyone. I am still in the process of learning, big game could be a buffalo, but I think in the wild one or in a shtf situation, I would also want an arrow that can also protect against predators (lions, bears etc). dmj it seems like one can use a lighter arrow when using a compound bow, whereas I get the impression the arrow must be much heavier when using a crossbow. North Idaho, if I may ask, if a lion approaches you unexpectedly from the front with your arrow drawn, then I presume you would be forced to aim for the chest because you wont be able to reach behind the shoulder??? Will it be adequate? I am still working on the range, but if I may ask all the experienced members a practical question. I just bought some new arrows. Now I tried to use them, but then noted that if I want to place the the vertical fletch upright and the other 2 fletches more horizontal so that the fletch does not hit the whisker biscuit arrow rest, then the nock is not aligned vertically to lock in place against the string. Now I tried to google on youtube how to change the position of the nock, but not much info. I used a pliers to keep the arrow stationary and a second pliers to try to turn the knock the correct position, but this was tough and I was worried I might dammage the expensive arrows and nock. Is it correct that I should turn the nock anti clockwise if I want to align it so that the single fletch is vertical? I just could not understand why new arrows would not have the nock correctly aligned with the fletch? Is my understanding of the concept correct? Sorry for asking such a basic question. Thank you again. Best regards James [/QUOTE]
