I was sighting in my broadheads a couple of days ago, and I noticed that one arrow hit 3" low compared to the other. Through a process of elimination, I found that it was different nocks that was the problem. On one arrow, I had older Nockturnal nock and the other had a knockoff (no pun intended) Nockturnal from West Houston Archery that was skinnier. Once I put the same nock on both arrows, they grouped the same. I wouldn't have thought that it would make that much difference, but it did.

Yep. Last year I had hell getting decent groups at all with my broad heads. I literally spent months trying to get my bow tuned so that they would group better with no luck. Turned out that it was the nocturnal nocks I had on them causing the bad grouping. I put brand new regular deep nocks on, and the rest is history. I think the nocturnals were just kind of worn out. The new nocks literally snapped onto the string tightly, while the nocturnals just slid on loosely.
