Tied on nocking point -what's wrong

[Rob DiStefano]

i find the metal nock points easiest/fastest to change location.  but when the right nock location is determined, i replace the metal with serving or string fiber.

Jack,

Here's a link to a tutorial from TBM's Tip of the Week. It shows a good way to finish the wrap...similar to finishing a string serving.

The metal nocks are bulky and if pinched will affect your arrow more than some floss or string'n'glue will. The have a greater chance of coming loose and slipping down/up. Also if you shoot with gloves, they wear out the gloves faster and can also damage the string if pinched to tight..
But if you like metal nocks, use them.
They still get the job done, if properly sized and fastened! [/b]

I've never, ever had a brass nock move once it's crimped in place.

I've never seen a string damaged from a brass nock (I've seen kevlar strings break at the nock point, but that's a kevlar problem, not a brass nock problem.)

If you prefer tying on a nock, cool.  Let's not create a problem to justify a personal choice.
