Making the moveable tie on nock points

[Wudstix]

Does anyone have experience making the moveable string nocks points after the string is on the bow.

Here you go Mike: https://www.netknots.com/fishing_knots/nail-knot
I use a small piece of those coffee stirrer (thin straw).
I hope that helps.

I have used this moveable tied-on string knot by Ryan Sanpei for many years.  Wouldn't use anything else:

Yes Ryan's stuff is great!

Thanks

This is the method I use.

[Ryan Sanpei]

I really appreciate the kind words guys! 

Recently, I've switched to using .032 BCY Powergrip. I feel like it stays round and doesn't lay flat. Plus it grips a little better when twisting up and down. The only downside is you need to be careful as to how tight you make the knot. The Powergrip will bite more. I guess that's why the call it powergrip.

I've been tying them like GCook showed for years.

Ryan's process is good also.

A few ways to tie them.

Another easy way here.

X2 or maybe X3 on Ryan Sanpeis video.

I use a nail Knot . Fisherman use all the time .

x2, works well, simple and easy

I use the same method as in the video GCook posted, only I just use single overhand knots and end with a square knot.

Thinking that will be it for me as well.

I find the basic nail knot to be the easiest and the neatest, with two adaptations. 1.I glob string wax on the bow string to stick the lead down, 2. I have a short length of a Bic ball point pen to wrap around. A nail is hard to stuff serving material along and a plastic straw is rather flimsy. The hard chunk of Bic pen can be wrapped tight and easier to grip. Oh yes, I follow up with a drop of super glue, when I got the right spot. I always have my bottom nocking point as either the only one or the main one. Sometimes I add a smaller top, above the arrow, nocking point after the bottom one is secure and glued.

Larry, what is your reason for only a nock below the arrow?

Just curious

[Larry Dean]

I get my bow strings from Chad, he gets the serving to be just the right thickness for the 5/16" Mecury nocks. If one has the string nock above and changes from a narrow 1918 aluminum to a parallel 11/32" or 23/64" cedar your arrow position will be pushed lower relative to the arrow rest. With just one under the arrow any change in arrow thickness will not matter. The arrow, if the nock is loose on the bowstring, will have a greater chance of sliding down the bowstring than up on release with an ASL. Some prefer to slide down towards the nock when quickly putting an arrow on the string without looking. I suppose I do this a little bit, but i do not pull the nock tight into the string until it is in position, which I can feel with the side of my thumb. The initial beginning of the throat of the nock does the sliding down, not the complete throat of the nock. On some strings I do have a small nock above. that is for simply keeping the arrow on the string if I am using a nock that has a little bit looser fit while still hunting. Yes, I walk around with an arrow on the string at times, when it is safe to do so. When I am rabbit or pheasant hunting, way more fun than sitting in a tree stand, I almost always have an arrow on the string.

I should not have mentioned rabbits, now I am hungry for grilled bunny.

Thanks for the explanation Larry
