What are the lines on the side of nocks for? Does it matter how you have your nocks installed in your arrows? How you have the nocks installed on your arrows matters, be sure all of them are rotated the same orientation otherwise you may end up missing the target completely!

The asymmetrical Beiter nock you show is designed to work with their nocking point, consisting of two plastic half that you need to assemble on your string. It actually was intended for barebow shooters practicing stringwalking - in which case the arrow is nocked to the string at an angle, hence the asymmetrical design. Werner Beiter was barebow shooter himself and these nocks were the first Beiter products for archery.

Jake great idea to show us such easy things which can have a big influence to your tuning and performance. I’m using the Beiter asymmetrical nocks and I made a dot ontop of the nock which indicates the direction , important if you are shooting league under time pressure 😏

Now I need to go check all of my nocks! Great video Jake!can you do one on how to choose the correct nock for your arrow? For compound bow if possible.

on my wooden arrows im shooting arizona's, which dont have an indicator. but i always overglue them, so i usually take the excess glue off with my finger and deposit that on the correct side for them. Especially with wooden arrows since you want to align the grain runouts in a specific direction for best safety.

12 store boughten arrows, 3 backwards nocks! (they’re symmetrical, but still… push-ins, so dipped in hot water and gently twisted)

@mathiashammar1 6 ай бұрын

Those beiter asymetric nocks shoots better score for me but lost to many arrows because of they are upside down 😂. So using g-knocks instead.

As a beginner should I learn barebow or Olympic recurve?

Hey Jake, what about the Easton 1820 arrows? Those nocks have an N on one side. Should it face down or face you?

@Exzeph 6 ай бұрын

A couple months ago my friend suffered a really bad misfire because his nock disintegrated mid-shot (nearly full draw). It led me to wonder if nocks should be switched out regularly to prevent this... but I haven't ever had my nocks break (we use the same nocks and shoot similar poundage), while at the same time I shoot more than he does. It leads me to wonder if it's an issue with his form? Or is this just a thing any good archer should be wary of.

@mathiashammar1 6 ай бұрын

Most of the times you hardly see the damage on the nock. If you get arrowstrikes(robin hood) I put those arrows aside for later inspection. I had a handful dryfire because of broken nocks at 30m. You can avoid it 100% by changing target face to "Vegas face" where you only shoot one arrow at each small target face.

@-Mah3sh- 6 ай бұрын

how does nock orientation affect left handed shooters? I understand the principle on the nocks with a line, but the Beiter nock has me confused. Should the symbol be up or down?

@mathiashammar1 6 ай бұрын

It's only elevation. If you shoot canted that's another story 😂. Logo up / slanted side up.look at 8:33 slanted nock ears are pointing up.

@Burboss 6 ай бұрын

Jake, I seriously doubt your claim that "if you nock it wrong you might miss the target completely" is a valid one ) Why would one use a nock that so finicky?

@JakeKaminskiArchery 6 ай бұрын

Guess you’ve never shot 70 Meters with a beiter nock upside-down…. Try it and get back to me

@JakeKaminskiArchery 6 ай бұрын

That “Finicky” nock has won more medals than any other at the Olympics. The Beiter Out Nock. It also essentially guarantees a Robinhood if your break the nock with another arrow.

Even more reason in my opinion to be as precise as possible… ethical taking of game must be primary for any hunter.

@@JakeKaminskiArchery Well, yes and no. like 5% yes, and 95% no ) Something along these lines. See, this is area of archery is very different from target shooting. Different even from barebow.
