Title: 1 or 2 strink nocks?
Post by: 2bird on June 03, 2014, 10:12:00 AM
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.

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 !!

Split finger and always use two.  Just taking one more variable out of the equation.

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?

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.

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:

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
