![]() I love that I can just clip it on my D loop while in the stand or on a stalk and it will be there for when it’s go time. That being said the Nock 2 It is still my go to hunting release. Knowing your limits is important to being an ethical and effective archer and understanding mine has helped me put a cap on the distance I let arrows fly and stopped me from taking shots that likely would have resulted in wounded animals. I am using the other Nock on release to train through this 60 yard mental block but for the time being I consider my max effective hunting range 50 yards depending on the animal I am shooting at. When this happens I know it’s time to switch back to either the Silverback or 2 Smooth which I will get into more in a minute. My first few shots will usually be money but what eventually creeps in is a bit of panic and I eventually get punchy. It is that drastic.Īs far as I can tell what causes this for me is that 60 yards is typically when my pin float rivals the size of my target. I find that I can consistently stack arrows out to 50 yards but push it to 60 and beyond and my groups go from Snapple caps to pie plates. Most importantly the Nock 2 It has taught me about my own limits when it comes to target panic and what environments make me more susceptible to it. If I pull through a surprise shot it’s evidenced in a smooth and effortless follow through. If I punch the trigger I can expect a low left hit. This little two finger trigger release is extremely responsive and has helped me learn to call my shots more than any other. I won’t go into detail about how these releases operate or the proper shooting form for each because honestly Dudley has put out more and better content about this then I ever could try so head over to the Nock On TV YouTube channel for those in depth tutorials. Personally I have found I have a preferred application for each and that is what this article is going to focus on. But what I hope will come from this article is that my experience as a consumer and lessons learned will help someone looking to make their first Nock On release purchase. Running around $200 each most people aren’t going to order all three in a single run. I would recommend any of these releases but also recognize that they aren’t the cheapest. I owe each of these releases with improving different aspects of my shot and making me a better all-around archer. Each release has a different method of operation and through their distinct mechanisms reveal different shortcomings and breakdowns in one’s form. The first question I almost always get is “which one is your favorite?” and I honestly can’t say. Dudley’s releases are his signature product and I own the full set. Even when I’ve been skeptical about the application of some products I typically find their value soon after trying them. I’m very open about the fact that I love virtually every product John Dudley puts out.
