Electrical tape nock point...

[gobblegrunter]

Anyone else use electrical tape for their nock point? Am I crazy? It seems to work well...

I have used heat shrink it works good too.

I like to tie on string nock points. But I have to admit there is more than one bow on the rack that has a temporary Duct Tape nock point that has been on the bow string for a long time.

Crazy, I wont label anyone. But I would think in the heat it could slide around. Tie your own it's easy.

Masking tape works well when you are looking for the sweet spot. I use dental floss after I find the spot.

i have used masking tape, and the white medical tape workes great too

I've never used ele tape for a nocking point but ele tape will come loose or slide if it gets wet. I would use a different type of tape if it was me.

I used gorilla tape for nock points and a thinner layer above and below the nock points on my daughters bow. She was having trouble with using a tab she shoots 20-40 arrows a night (she's 4) and her fingers were getting sore. I haven't had to change or replace it yet.

Used it for years and it never moved.

I use duct tape for temporary nock points before tying in...   Red Green is my idol!

Tied on is so easy and solid -- start with surgeon's knot, 5 half-hitches, and end with surgeons and melt the tag ends -- 3-4 minutes tops.  I've even used painter's tape in an emergency.

Use duct tape all the time ! Only have to replace a couple times a year and I shoot thousands of arrows before replacing.

I think of all the bad choices, "black tape" would be the worst. Much better option is, as Roy (Bowwild)said, "tied on is so easy and solid"

I know a few trad hunters that will only use this method.  Durable, cheap, easy...'nuf said...

I have used tape alot to find my nocking point. But not for hunting, all it would take to move the tape is a good snag on anything, like when your pulling your bow up on your pull up rope or grabing your bow by the string. Or as said before, bad weather! I like the smallest brass nocking points, they have the blue rubber in them and are tiny but work great on today's skinny strings. They don't weigh much more than a tie in, there 4.4 gr. I just put one on my scale.

I have used 1/8" strips of masking take as an intitial temporary nock mark with a new bow.

I like to use small nylon cable ties for temporary nock points when I am tuning in. They go on easy,they are cheap and they come off easy best thing I have found.

I use masking tape for a temporary nock point when setting up a new bow.

Mr. gobblegrunter,
We used the black electrical tape for a temporary mark on a couple of our bows.  That was several years ago and it is still in place, working perfectly! Neither heat of summer, rain, sleet or snow (cold weather) has bothered it one bit.
Never did get around to replacing it with the brass nocks we normally use.  Maybe next summer?
Best Wishes

There was a fellow on MBBII that was from Colorado and he used heat shrink tape.

I noticed my tied on dacron nock staring to come undone while I was out hunting so I used a small bandage from my first aid kit in my pack to tape over it ... that was a few years ago and it is still place and works just fine. I used only the tape part not the gauze section of the bandage.
