Occasionally I get string rash on my cheek from shooting a lot. I'm not sure if it's from the string or the nocks. I stopped using brass nocks a long time ago, but the way tied-on nocks stick out, I wouldn't be surprised if it is from them. The way your tape nocks are flat and smooth, I would imagine there would be less likliehood of abrasion on the face. I may try them for that reason.

Didn't like the brass squeeze on nock points either. Initially changed to tie on nocks, but I've been using 3/4-inch masking tape for years to form two nock points. Four tight wraps around the string. I don't treat them with anything. They don't move and last quite a long time, and only takes a few minutes to replace when they do start to wear.
A very useful feature when I switch from skinny carbons to thicker wood arrows and have to change nock point height.

In the past I've used masking tape layered with Duco cement. It makes a great long lasting nocking point.
I like the looks of yours too. Very neat and I can see how it would be tough.

Very neat and smooth. Thanks for sharing. May try your technique for my next string instead of the tie on that I have been using.

Good idea. I definitely like these over brass nocks.
