Title: tying a nocking on
Post by: see on August 02, 2008, 11:22:00 PM
i can serve a bowstring and tie it off real well.whats the best method to tie on a good nocking point that will be small instead of long on the serving?i would like to have an upper and lower one so the arrow would remain in place.any comments?

I believe there are instructions in the How-to section here.

I use D97 and make a loop with one long end and one small end.place the loop on the string and wrap the longer end around,building it up as you like.take the long tag end and run it thru the loop then pull the short end,bringing the other end thru the nock.Trim,burn and a spot of glue.Kind of like tying off the serving.

I just use overhand knots on opposite sides of the string.  When it is built up enough trim the tag ends a melt with a lighter.  I like this because you can twist the nock up or down to fine tune arrow flight.  You can put a drop of CA glue after fine tuning if you like.
