Nicely done. I really like the looks of that method and will be using it for my next nock point.

Thanks for sharing Ryan. I'm had just re-served my string so I gave your knot a try worked, out real nice. Thanks again. Joe

Tied this knock point on my bow yesterday, I've only shot it a day but so far it is my favorite by a long shot. I tightened mine a little too much and it is hard to adjust, it will move, but not easily at all, that is my fault not the knot's. I fine tuned yesterday and my bow is shooting BBs with field tips and broadheads. With a little more testing if this knot stays put, which it seems to be, I won't use anything else. Thanks, Chris

WOW! Cool stuff Chris. Yeah this knot can be really tricky at first and I was a little hesitant to post it, but guys been asking me about it. I'm stoked that it's working. Like I mentioned before, you'll either love or hate this knot.

Ryan , I've been playing with the double nocks and will be heading to the shop to install a couple adjustable string nocks. Good job on the video. Maxx

I just had to replace the string nocks on my Griz. I tried your method. All I kept hearing was "over the rainbow, through the rainbow" and it worked like a charm!!
Thanks Ryan.
I need to get some .030 braided serving line just for this.

Sounds like I'm in the market for some .030 braided material too, Bud - LOL. As you may have noticed, I use the double tied on string nocks (and have for years). I went away from double for awhile but came back to it about a year ago. Since i have been tying my own (and other's) on for some time, I stayed away from this video for awhile - couldn't stand the curiousity though - LOL. GREAT VIDEO, GREAT HOW-TO, Ryan, and it really looks like a much better and more uniform knot than the string of overhand knots (and super glue) I've used for years. Sometimes they don't want to break loose for adjusting, and I have to redo. I definitely am going to be practicing this and see if this ol' dog can learn (another) new trick. Great job, Ryan, Mahalo.

Tried your knot for a bottom knock and it works like a charm. Thanks for posting.
