I have a Middleton DTM355 on order.  What are most folks using for a nock, flat or moon?  I have some GT Laser III bolts at 22" that I am thinking about cutting down to 20" and using brass inserts.  I also have some 100 gr. NAP Thunderhead Edge Broadheads. I cannot use mechanical broadheads in Idaho.  Any thoughts or suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks for the information.  I'll get some flat nocks on order.  I'll keep the information on the 145 but I'll see how the 100 grs shoot first.  What is the purpose of the heavier broadhead, FOC?

I shoot 2219's out of mine, flat nocks, with 125 grain slick tricks , muzzy's , or field points
4" feathers with a slight offset,
good luck that thing is a killer. IMO no need to get fancy with carbons or expandable
cheaper and deadly accurate with the aluminum and fixed blade heads
