nock point

[DanielB89]

I am curious to know what everyone uses for their nocking point.  I am currently using serving string tied around a few time.  But was wondering if there are some other alternatives out there.  Anyone ever used a single strand of bow string?  etc.

thanks,
Daniel

That's what I save old bowstrings for.  I tie on two points, non-adjustable, and I've used dental floss, serving and probably some other stuff, but my preference is old string strands.

Yep. Old B50 strings.

I use old B50 bowstrings,even used old D97 for tying on nocks.

I've been using masking tape for years. So easy to change nock point too. I'm surprised more shooters don't try this, rather than the more permanent options.

Great idea.

Can't stand brass nocks

[Jasper2]

No brass nocks here either.....they add the possibility of smashed and/or damaged serving, they are too big and uncomfortable, they require tools to adjust and they are hard on shooting gloves. Too many negatives for me..I use a slightly larger serving material than what's on my string.

Take care,
Jason

dental floss is all i use

[Drewster]

I use a 4oz. waxed nylon sewing thread.....works great.  I really dislike brass nocks too.

Tie on x 2, one over one under, with serving thred sized larger than the string serving.

Two tied on nock points, one over and one below the nock.  I use white BCY #3D and shoot split finger.

artificial sinew

Nock/peep sight tying string from BCY. I got it at lancaster archery. It was 5.99 for a roll and is quite a bit thicker than bowstring material. Should last forever.

Black vinyl electrical tape. Sounds stupid but works great!

[DanielB89]

Do any of you guys use ones that are adjustable(other than the tape)?

I was wanting one that would stay still but then if i needed to move it, i could do it with a little elbow grease and twisting with the serving.

thank you for all the replies!

String nocks will move

I use brass nocks on some of my bows. The trick I have found to keep them from eating up gloves is after you've crimped them in place take a 6" file and go all the way around the nock and on all the edges. This smooths out any burr or sharp edge left by the factory or from crimping them in place and leaves a very nice permanent nock set.
