Hi folks,
I heard somewhere but can't remember where, that swapping over from G-Nocks to Pin nocks will stiffen an arrow.
I'm curious why this is.
I understand that adding a heavier point will weaken an arrow as it is adding inertia to the end furthest from the point where the propulsion is applied so the shaft may be forced to bend a little more to accommodate.
I can also understand that it will alter the FOC of the arrow as marginally more weight is added to the tail end.
I can also get that the arrow, now being heavier will lose some speed due to the energy from the string/limbs being the same meaning that if the mass changes, the velocity must also change.
So is the arrow acting stiffer purely down to this reduced velocity due to weight, or is there another factor I'm missing that will make it act stiffer?
