Do you guys use nock points on your traditional bows? I have never used one on my trad bows.
-
If you mean a nock point on the string, yes absolutely.
-
Yeah i sure do, i never used to but my shot is wayyyyy more consistent with than without
-
Yes, except for sinew strings. After a while it's pretty obvious where the arrows goes on those
-
I usually add one to the string once the bow is shot in but I can shoot almost as well without one.
-
I use some red thread to mark the appropriate nocking point, nothing that'll help me keep the arrow from moving but a spot to put the arrow.
-
Yes, but first I use a narrow strip of duct or electrical tape to make sure I'll put the windings of string in the right place. Jawge
-
Yeah i don't use them ugly crimp on ones
-
I use a few wraps of unwaxed dental floss.
-
Yep....Dental Floss works real well.............

Just wrap some thread and put a drop of nail polish or super glue to hold it. Very light weight and more secure than the metal clamp on ones.

Awesome thanks for all the replies fellas. I like the idea of the red string as a marker for the correct spot.

Thats the way i do it. If you wax your serving before tieing the nock you can twist it up or down the string just like a nut on a bolt.
-
Yes, absolutely. I tie mine on with a waxed thread. And, they're adjustable.
-
I just cut an 1/8" strip of duct tape and wrap that around the string above the nock point. Super quick, easy to take off without a knife. And pretty easy to take off and move to a different place if your string stretches.
-
I've always tied mine on
-
Yep tie one in after it is tuned.
