Pics of arrow release

[salemons]

Wanted to see my form so my daughter took some pictures. Turned out kinda neat. My first try at posting pictures?
On its way but not quite off the string

Was a perfect center shot    :rolleyes:   but don't have a picture

[Charlie Lamb]

great example of why I like two nocking points.

[KentuckyTJ]

Good point Charlie, I wouldn't have seen that. I'm going home tonight and tying another below on all my bows. Thanks for the picts.

I like two nocking points,been tying on two since I started shooting traditional many years ago.

I suspect you have an awesome camera to get that type of clarity.

[smilinicon]

That's neat, I have been wanting to do the same.

[SEMO_HUNTER]

Yep, that's why I always put 3 rubber eliminator buttons on my strings. I slide one up directly under the arrow nock and slide the other 2 down out of the way as spares.

Sweet shootin' by you both

Great pics and the form isn't too shabby either.  I noticed the nock on the string immediately.  I had just put a second nock set below the arrow last month after shooting years without it.  It has definitely tightened up my groups for indoor shooting.  I will continue to use it on all my bows.

[salemons]

Thanks all for the second nock suggestion. I will give it a try.

Thanks to Charlie 'cause I did'nt saw it at first,I surely will put a second nock now. An image worth a thousand words!Thanks for the pics Salemons, your form looks good .

It is hard to beleive that the arrow slid down in that short of time.  He is shooting 3 fingers under, so I would have thought that the arrow would have been held up against the nock set while at anchor.  But I guess that seeing is believing.

I've always had 2 nock locators because I know how to screw up at the wrong moment & that just takes away another possible issue I could have.

Sweet photos though, man I wish I could get pictures like those.

That arrow nock is suppose to be in that position when released. His arrow didn't slip down the string. Brass nock on the string forced the arrow nock down because of the string angle. It's going to be in the same position each and every time an arrow is shot.

Double nocks are fine, but you better leave enough room between them to prevent pinching.......Art

Agreed as long as the release is consistant, draw length is consistant, and there is no torque placed upon the string. Also, what you will find if you do not leave any play between tied on or crimped on nocks is that the serving or nock point will eventually move a little.
Even if there is no play at all though, there should not be "pinch" when the arrow leaves the string as long as there was no pinch when nocking the arrow to the string.  

Personally, I go with two tied on nocks. They will move appropriately to just the right distance over time.

Great pictures!!!

Anyone else wonder why at this time of year the chap is sweatin?

And it's sooo green! Dang. Won't be that long till we see ground, then brown...and eventually GREEN again.

And sweat!

My observations tend to agree with Art's. I use double tied-on nock sets and usually the gap will widen after a few shots from the arrow nock slightly prying them apart due to the string angle at full draw.  I strongly feel that a double nock is advantageous, but the gap in the pic doesn't look all that excessive.  There have been pics posted with much worse slippage.  It probably is affected by nock tightness also, but too tight nocks are just as bad.  I tend to over draw an arrow a couple times, just to loosen up the muscles before a shooting session.  I consider my nock fit to be near perfect, but if I let down after a full draw, the arrow will not be completely "seated" and the string will be more pinched out between the nock "ears". Don't know that this hurts anything as long as it doesn't cause dry fires.
