New to archery, first bow, and was trying to remember this method, used to use this for tying the whipping on old Persimmon golf clubs, clear and easy to follow instructions and you can make them as long or short as you like. Thanks for the great upload.

Best video about tying nocking points I've seen. Others use superglue or wind it very loose and loop the end through the windings and the end loop, which usually results in a mess. Or they just make a start knot, glue that down, wind and glue the end. Yours is so elegant and doesn't use any glue at all. Love it and have referred it to all club members wanting to try it instead of basically crimping a heavy brass ring on their string (oftentimes damaging the center serving while applying too much force or using a wrong sized part). If you want to get rid of the nock point just carefully cut one of the windings and it will come undone. No damage to the center serving at all. So nice! Thanks a lot!

That's a good point. I should have done that. For info, compound nocking points are usually located with the bottom of the top nock point 1/8th to 1/4th inch above center depending on the thickness of the nock. Recurve nock points are usually 5/16th to 3/8th inch above center to the botom of the top nock point.

Some guys at my Archery Club use this method, but first they draw the thread through a stick of regular hot-melt glue then once the nock is tied and trimmed they heat it with a flame and the glue sets the nock tight.

Some people use the same color nocking point as the serving. Since you look at the string when nocking the arrow it shouldn't be a problem. I like to use a different color than the string so the nocking point is more obvious.

Thanks for the advice but you don't mention how to know exactly where to put the nocking point... The point of the string where the arrow is straight compared with the rest while the string of not being pulled? I'm newbie with this and got no helping due to the quarantine hehe
@LavalFalks-InnerArchery
@LavalFalks-InnerArchery 3 жыл бұрын
You measure from the arrow rest or shelf (wherever your arrow will rest) to the string with a bow square to find level then move up however much you need to get the correct arrow flight. I start at 5/16" above level for the top of the bottom nock point for a recurve and adjust from there. If using small diameter pin nocks you may need to move higher since they are narrower than the arrow shaft. You can find bow squares easily on the internet.

I serve in the opposite direction that the string is twisted. For a right handed archer the string is twisted clockwise and serving is twisted counter clockwise. This is to allow the fingers or tab to slide off the serving more smoothly.

If you hook 3-under you will always have some nock pinch. If you use Bieter asymmetrical nocks you can minimize it. If you hook with one over and 2 under there is no nock pinch. It is better to have some nock pinch than to have loose nock points that allow inconsistency during the arrows release from the string.
