Title: Pin nocks
Post by: DC on October 07, 2016, 09:50:08 pm

Did I do this right. They do everything they're supposed to but it's a PITA to get the string off. I use push/pull and I can't seem to hook my finger on the string to unstring it. Maybe I shouldn't have such sharp shoulders on it?

Is your string loop too small?

Yep, groove on shoulder and immediately below make it difficult for me to slip string off shoulder. I pretty much get rid of groove on shoulder and drastically reduce groove depth immediately below.

Ah, so you can hook it with your fingernail just where the two sides of the loop come together. Got it, thanks

It's that little lip on both edges of the belly that's giving you grief
