I had a viewer ask about my opinion of the Firenocks for the Ravin so I bought them and took a close look. As you will se in the video I do not recommend you use the Firenocks for Ravin. I do however feel that the Firenocks are a great product for all other setups. I have other videos that offer a build your own option for Ravin arrows. Here is the link. Don't forget to subscribe and I hope you find use of the content. Have a safe season.

Firenock makes a bunch of different knocks and each one of those is made specifically for a different application which includes different bows and crossbows different string sizes and different arrow sizes. I would advise you to contact Firenock and Dorge will get back to you promptly with the reason why You need whatever specific you’re supposed to use on your crossbow and string set up. Depending on the crossbow set up, Dorge actually does recommend a loser fitting knock sometimes and if you ask him, he will explain why he actually works with and knows personally a lot of crossbow manufacturers.
I don’t use any lighted nocks. I simply looked into a product that was being talked about. With the nock being the primary source of failure on Ravin arrow builds I’m comfortable with the information I have provided. Thank you for your input.
Thx for sharing. I did not use any lighted nocks on the Zombie's I made up for the Ravin but it is good to know as I sometimes use lighted nocks when hunting.
Not sure if you seen it but I have a video with links to the parts needed for an arrow build that allows use of the Ravin nocks. Anyway thanks for commenting and watching. Have a good one.
@@zumaconcepts1200 I got all the parts and built me the Zombie / Rabin arrows. I will be using the Black Eagle arrows to make my next 6 then do a comparison. The BEE's come with 3 inch fletch and I don't think they are as stiff as the Zombies. The Ravin Zombies weigh 438 grains including 100 grain points. My R29X is shooting 454 fps with the stock 400 grain Ravin arrows. Not sure what the others will weigh yet.
I don't know if you realize but you have to have the right size serving on your string to shoot the different nocks made by firenock. I agree with you on a loose nock but with the right size serving they work great, I know because I shoot them. But I do have a GAS string with the right size serving set up for my Ravin R15.
I agree. I try to keep my mods as close to stock or even identical for people to have an option they can be confident in. If you have a video with your information on it feel free to link it to this response for viewers to check out. Thank you for your input.
So no nock bushing needed with the Firenock plastic nock? Doesn't that speak to the unnecessary-ness of the Ravin nock bushing?
I don’t have any data to speak on either side of that opinion. I definitely would never use firenocks twitch Ravin.
Quick question. You have the limbs packed w dampeners. I’ve heard negative takes on those. How do they help? Hurt?
I’m not sure they do. The idea is to reduce vibrations and quiet the bow down. I have them out now and I can’t say I see a difference. I don’t think it matters either way.
@@zumaconcepts1200 some other Ravin owner did a reviews and said at 50 yards they lost their groups and things came back together when they removed them??? Idk was curious. Xbows in general are just loud:)
@@arkbama6
That’s interesting. You can see them installed in my 135yard 4” group video. I don’t believe the style I had in my bow made a difference. Maybe if I measured the sound but I didn’t see anything with accuracy.
The lighted nocks and timing created more of an issue than anything.
@@zumaconcepts1200 that’s why I’m asking you. Your vid’s delve deeper into the math and science of Ravins so if you didn’t notice an accuracy issue on dampeners then I’m going to assume that may be a fluke. Really appreciate all the intel out there on products these days😃
Good video thanks
No problem. Thanks for watching!
@@zumaconcepts1200 I think your channel is going to get big
Thanks, I appreciate that. I’m happy that I can help. Feel free to shoot any review ideas my way. I would be happy to nock a video out. Like in most cases if one person has questions or concerns many other will have the same concerns. It helps me get the help out there people are looking for. My email is listed in the description of my videos for private request in case someone doesn’t want there questions publicly posted. I get it. There are no stupid questions. Have a good one.
@@zumaconcepts1200 just a video idea.
Comparing brown rabbits to deer to see if we can learn anything about deer from rabbits or learn about rabbits from deer. They had so much in common like fur, waste, diet, habitat, both can be very nocturnal, ears, and how they stop and stare at you some.
Hahah! Thanks.
hi like your videos, could a guy shorten the arrow a little to get rid of some of the extra weight from the zombies
I wouldn’t. It might start to mess with the balance. I have some other videos on ways to make your own arrows that are identical to the Ravin arrows weight. Might be helpful to you.
@@zumaconcepts1200 ok thanks i see your point .
Don't buy had some ,very poor quality,some didn't work the others wouldn't lock on string and fit was way to tight and expensive!
Thanks for your input!!

I'm almost ready to purchase my new R10 just wondering your thoughts vs a tenpoint titan or turbo s1.thanks
I can only speak to the Ravin and Tenpoint. The reason I prefer the Ravin is for how the arrow is supported with minimal contact vs the other bows that produce slight pressure on the string due the the contact rail design. The Ravin also has the repeatability I prefer in the cocking mechanism. It is critical to repeat the anchor point when cocking to again reduce the torque inconsistency on the string. These two things alone are huge factors in repeatability and Ravin has it to a science. I can’t say enough about the design and how much I count on it in the field. All that said my brother uses the tenpoint and he loves it. If your asking for what I would do…. I will never buy anything but Ravin at this point in time. They are just too good at this game right now. Best of luck to you and thanks for watching.
thanks for your input I'll be getting the R10 and making my own arrows .thanks very much for helping my decision
@@kenkadatz629 happy to help.
@@zumaconcepts1200 I love my R10 but I'm having some issues with the thumb release button. There are times that I cannot push the thumb release down all the way, so that I can turn the handle; it acts like it gets stuck. I emailed Ravin about it and they are sending me a new handle-how that is going to help is beyond me? Other than that I love my R10. I have one last question; have you ever used the Firenock arrow rest with your Ravin? (ARRAV1)
@@kurtglo It sounds like they are not on the same page with you on the problem you are having. That sucks. I have not used that rest. I have stuck with Ravins stock rest.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with the firenock nocks actually my r15 shot better groups with those nocks
That’s awesome. I’m happy you have something that works so well for you. Like I say in the video, use what works best for you and your likings. I am simply sharing my perspective. Thanks for your input.
When you build zombie slayer with luminock does it weigh the same as raving lighted arrows??
I will check this weekend and let you know the difference if there is any. Check back. It won’t be later than Sunday evening.
The Zombies are 41.7 gram heavier. The ravin’s are 303.7 grams and the Zombies are 345.4 grams.
That dose not make sense. Ravin says 400 grains.
@@j.g.2825
I get what you are saying. I will double check and confirm.
Okay. Here is the correction. The ravin arrows are 300 grains without a point. The Zombies are 346 grains who out a point. The Zombies are 46 grains heavier. I apologize for the mixup. I did not have the equipment with me and I trusted someone to check for me. I won’t make that mistake again. Thanks again for watching and commenting.
