At a shoot this weekend I had a friend tell me that he has started using 2 string nocks because it will keep the arrow from sliding down the string after release, any opinions? I have always just used 1 but if I might help it's worth a shot.
-
Anyone who shoots 3 under should use two string nocks! All you have to do is watch the slo-mo video to convince yourself!
I shoot split finger and have bows with one and bows with two.

X2, I learned that first hand this weekend!!!! I would use sting nocks only for this.
-
I shoot split fingers and I use one above and one below. I get much better arrow flight.
-
I buy my strings from Allen Schafer .. Lefties R Us and he makes them with two nock ties and I really like them. Keeps the arrow more secure on my string when I'm up in a stand ... great strings too !!
-
Anyone know where to find this video at? Not having much luck finding it...
-
Split finger and always use two. Just taking one more variable out of the equation.
-
split finger 2 nocks

Split finger, two nocks. Like NBK said, takes one more variable out of the equation.
-
2 tie on nocks.
-
Well i'm going to be tieing on another nock today when I get home... Do you put them so both string nocks touch the arrow nock or so they leave a small gap?
-
split finger with two nocks
-
I use two nocks. I do give it just a little room so at full draw it doesn't pinch.
-
I shoot 3 under and use two nocks on all my bows. Gives me better arrow flight.
-
Ok
-
I shoot spit and use two as well. For those that tie on their nocks, how do you adjust them? I watched the how to video listed here and really liked the method, however it didn't seem adjustable.
-
I shoot split and use two as well-like belt over suspenders! :laughing:
-
I just make 1 normal knot then wrap up and down 1/8" till it's as thick as I want then tie the 2 ends together with 2 normal knots then cover it will a light coat of super glue. I use dental floss for the string nocks. It's not adjustable but takes 2 mins and a few penny's to tie one up.
-
Split finger 2 tie on nocks.
The less chance for movement the better off I am. :knothead:
-
I use three under and two tie-in nock sets. If tied correctly, you can twist them up and down the string for minor adjustment but they do not move during shooting. I also tried adjustments so far as distance between them.
-
I shoot 3-under and use a brass crimped-on nock on top, and a serving string tied-on nock on the bottom. It'd easy to do and, as said above, eliminates a potential problem.
-
I shoot split and have been tying on two nocks for over 15 years.
-
Split....one nock above so I can use my back quiver and get a second arrow up and on quick and without looking.

Here's a link to some videos that show the nock movement at release with only one nocking point. I tie on two with a series of opposing overhand knots, finish with a granny, snip, and burn. Easy and adjustable. :archer2:

Split finger and 2 nocks as well.

Me too always use his strings but really like the double string nock since I shoot 3 under. Like Bishs said needed after seeing that video. So double knock points for me
-
I shoot split & use two tie ons. Does it help? It gives me more confidence so yeah, it does.
-
Well got the 2nd nock on and good results!!!! 2 nocks for me for now on!!!

Thanks for the video slim grim
