2 Nock Points on Short Bow.

rocketman · December 26, 2015, 11:17:00 AM

While playing around last night, I tied a second nock point on the string below the arrow. My elbow already suffering from shooting too long prior to this, I haven't shot it yet. My new bow, shorter then any previous bows, is 56" and I draw it 28". Do you think the increased string angle, with 2 nock points, will pinch the arrow nock enough at full draw to create inconsistent flight?

Thanks for any input.

I prefer double nocks on short bows. I just leave a little wiggle room between them to avoid pinching.

If it does, just move it down 1/16" to 1/8" so that it does not pinch any more. The lower nock point should not be up against the nock anyway, but just a tad under, to prevent the pinch you are talking about from happening.

I put two nocking points on all of my bows, from 52" KMag to 66" longbow. It certainly doesn't hurt even with a perfect release (that does happen for me once in a great while) and for anything less than perfect, it most definitely helps.

I use 2 noc points on all my bows.

Not at all, do it all the time.

Yup.

Yep!

Reread the question and my answer should be nope.

Besides, when you think about it, your fingers will be what is getting pinched, not the nocking points.
