This is exactly the kind of thing us newer archers need! Thank you so much.

Truly most comprehensive informational video review about just nocking the arrow to bowstring on KZfaq to date. (prob. for ever).

" This is the most comprehensive video of ...... " Yes, that is why I come here Sir. You have a depth of knowledge, and skill at sharing it that I can not even begin to match, even as a life long archer.

I love his channel. I've learned so much from him. He's straight forward tells it like it is.

My father used to make me bows and arrows out of young tree branches when I was a child, they weren't the best but they helped me a lot, I learned on my own to not choke the grip, release the string by relaxing and so on. Now I have a compound bow, I'm getting back into archery, and it feels very nice, your videos have helped me regain my lost knowledge.

It seemed like a stupid question but for noobs it actually matters since the wanna learn an easy legal way so that they don't put extra effort later in unlearning a wrong habbit. Thanks for providing/covering this.

NUSensei, thanks to your videos I've learned the terminology used in archery. In this case, I didn't know what "nocking" the arrow was and it turns out it's just a simpler way of saying "put the arrow on the bow". Thanks for your time and effort doing these videos.

I've been shooting olympic recurve for only three months. I never fail to find something useful in your videos. My shooting is really improving a lot and some of the credit has to go to you. Thank you.

Started archering. Guess whose videos I am using to learn something? , guessed right. Keep on the good work

All good points, quite comprehensive. As a complete beginner, I truly appreciate it. Thanks, coach

Thanks for another great vid Nu..This arrow twirl is really keeping me fit..lower back,hamstrings stretch.Not to mention scaring the cat!..ie;picking them up off the floor every time!

Comprehensive but it's this little stuff that helps us improve. Well done and Thank You!

Your videos are always so helpful, thankyou

Your videos are cool and entertaining Even on a dull topic like knocking. Your presentAtion of the material is whY we New guys like your vids. We also get the learning benefit

I am just beginning and I felt it was really helpful. I always stand the bow on my boot to stop me turning it sideways which seems to work. Thanks

Wow, I thought I've watched all NU's videos. How did I miss this ~10min long arrow nocking video?! lolol Other ways (my preferences) are: outside --> clicker --> nock OR inside --> click --> nock

Hey, I'm still a beginner, so bear with me. If there is only one nocking point on a string, does the arrow nock below it or above it? Also, is there a certain way the feathers/fins of an arrow go (i.e. when nocked, there should be a fin sticking straight out on the outside etc.)?

That actually helped out a lot!

Oh man, I know it's an old video, but grabbing arrows by the nock is not awkward at all. Plenty of people use it with amazing results. And historically it's quite common. I do this exclusively and it works like a charm.

Things i want to know: How do you assemble your arrows from start to finish? You have some videos of the topic but nifty or only about one part of the topic (hot melt glue)

usefull tips I guess!going to shoot indoors here in Denmark later tonite!I love the shape of recurves!

what do you think of Lars Anderson and his method of holding the arrows on your shooting hand?

Could you please explain thos to me or do you have a video on this? When setting a nock point its said you need to have the nock point so that you the arrow is tilted downwards. Why exactly? Is it because the arrow will fletch in a curve over the arrow rest? Is it because your view angle and the angle of the arrow differ so they are somewhat more parallel? If so couldn't one just set the nock point horizontal and just hold the bow higher so the line of sight lines up with the arrow? Or is it a completely different reason? I always need to know the background so I can understand why I'm doing what I'm doing. I asked in a big local archery shop and they told me it's because of the archers paradox (which I think is bs because one is horizontal movement the other vertical alignment). So probably even that guy didn't know the reason. Thanks!

limb question: if one of the limbs is wiggling, is it safe to use? This is whn it is unstrung. But when it is strung, it makes a light clack sound.

interesting points 👌🏽

Nice

hi.... do you have any videos on flight path of the arrow and calculating the adjustments …………… which is the substance of ultimate success

If twirling an arrow helps me hit the target then I am willing to learn how to do it. Otherwise I just pull the darn thing out, place it on the rest, aim and shoot. :)

When buying secound hand bows, you can tell who feeds the arrow inside the string. These are the bows with the pock marks on the bow's finish on the belly. I always stress to beginners, that this is the best way to give your bow the shabby used look. I also don't twirl an arrow. I pull and nock it, by only handling it by the arrownock.

I use a third, again different method: I put the arrow under the clicker from the outside direction, then nock it on the string. And I don't twirl even with a field quiver, because that is for overly manly macho compound archers. :D

I think as simple as it is, it becomes very challenging to Nock an arrow when trying to speed shoot.

I personally only spin the arrow when I remove it from a target. Since I pull the arrow out with my thumb and index finger, and have a quiver in the same style as the one you're wearing, it's just easier to do. If I didn't do that I would have to put the arrow back in a pretty uncomfortable position for my arm.

Can someone explain my how the fletches should stay when attached to the string mine keeps tearing apart

i use the twirl because for some reason the odd feathers wil be outside the bow when i twirl (im a trad shooter with thumb

About the "nocking from the inside"-method: There is good chance of hitting you riser with the arrow point. On wooden risers this immediately scares them. here is a good video by John Schulz on nock control.

Just pull it out by the nock, push it along the string on to your rest then just push further and then pull back thus nocking the arrow.

Hi just would like to know why u have a big stick hanging of bow.Whats that for ?

So Im also gripping my arrow at the shaft but people keep telling me that it's wrong and that I have to grip it at the nock I also put my finger up to help nock my arrow just like you do and they are telling me this is wrong too 😅 Oh and I'm watching Chris Bee too what's your opinion about him? 😄

TWO THINGS: I am a 15 year old and use a low draw weight bow without a tab or finger rollers. Is this OK to do? I enjoy your videos greatly!

In my very first tournament, I had a guy next to me tilting his bow sideways. It was quite irritating, but he managed not to hit me with it.

From time = 1:56, NUSensei answers the enquiry regarding ``THE TWIRL``. . . In the Video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ZsCEmr2G2M-phnU.html ^^2014 Hoyt / Easton / Pat's Archery - Australian Open - Hobart^^ @ 27:10 of that video (also 26:38), you see a Compound-Archer doing just what NUSensei demonstrates here. Naturally, it is a Compound-Shooter which I found, `cause NUSensei states it is most likely to be found only for Compound Target Shooters.

Am I the only one who just grabs the arrows by the nock? Grabbing the arrows somewhere at the shaft seems very unintuitive and clumsy, since you put the nock on, so if your hand is closest to the nock seems easier

hi.. I'm new to archery.. and i recently bought a new bow and it came with the string.. it doesn't have any nocking point on it.. so how do i make one.?

The one thing I was hoping to learn about from this video you didn't go over lol Nocking points. to nock above or below it? different situations require different methods? or just always one or the other?

Twirl is personal flourish, yes....it's annoying in a CROWDED line.

Looks more like a javelin.

After nocking, the arrow kept on falling from the rest. really really wanted to bent the rest to a hook shape. (I know i can't =>)

is Japanese style traditional archery a violation? They draw at a higher point

Gus Johnson

People really don't know this

If you are clumsy with a tab why don’t you use a glove

I always cringe when I see you tilt your bare bow when nocking your arrow. I know it doesn't really matter, but it ruffles my jimmies!

this as comprehensive? :D you didn't talk about nocking from the outside at all when you just touch the arrow to the bow from the right side and spin the string with the thumb to keep it there, also you nock like a child, it takes ages, it surprises me to see people doing things wrong for so many years and there is no will to improve or learn. arrows are around 20-30gr, even the heavy ones are easy to be held by the nock so sliding up the arrow and nocking with the same move is easy quick and precise, unlike when holding it where you did.
