Double nocks

[MCS]

What would double nocks do for me? Who uses them and how do they help you?

[dragonheart]

What do you mean? Nocking point?  Double lock arrow nocks?

[Night Wing]

He means a double nock set on a bowstring. Like two brass nock sets where one is placed over the arrow nock and the second one is right under the arrow nock.

[MCS]

Yes one under one over your nock.

[KodiakMag]

I use them. Basically the nocks on the last batch of arrows I made suck and tend to slip. Using one on top and one on bottom stops the nock of the arrow from slipping up the string. I like it, it also can help keep you from pinching the nock of the arrow when you draw.

EDIT: I actually have 2 on bottom because my nocking point was off and I couldn't get the nock off the string so I just put another one right above it and it has worked just fine. So actually I have 2 bottom one top.

I use two this keeps the arrow from sliding as you draw the bow,has always helped my shooting.

I shoot 3 under and use them. I shoot better that way.

I too used them when I shot 3 under and saw a definite improvement in consistency.  Switched to split finger and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference now.

I shoot three under and my arrow nocks were slipping down when I only had one nock above. I had horrible ripping tears when I tried to paper tune. I'm talking 8 inch rips. I got a PM from a TG'er and he told me to put a nock below. Problem solved.

i use 2

[Javi]

split finger two nocks

[KentuckyTJ]

most definitely. i think everyone should use two. charlie lamb posted a video of an arrow shot in slow mo with a single nock over the arrow and the arrow would slide down the string on release. talk about a tuning nightmare.

This is great guys. How far apart do you put them?

[yekrut]

I do it on one of my rigs because the string is so skinny.

Just a little slack with an arrow nocked.. maybe a 1/16" or so

[smokin feathers]

only way I can get a couple bows to shoot straight using 3 under. I get way better arrow flight

[Keefer]

If you go to the How to Section there is a video and a pic or two on the tie on style...I highly recommend it if it's works for "Charlie" then it will work for us as well...Try it and I bet you will like the way it helps in your grouping of arrows..Keefer's <><

[USN_Sam1385]

I do it as well. Just seems 'right'.

I also shoot 3 under. Will not ever go back to shooting split finger.

Just doesn't feel right at ALL when I try to do it now.

Funny thing is... I thought 3 under looked like the wierdest thing when I first saw it.

[Terry Green]

Yeah....a 16th is the ticket....that way the nock point will have a little room at full draw.  Two is always better than one.....except one example I can think of....quick nocking on the 2nd shot.

I only use two on bows that like a higher knock point than normal.....UNLESS I get cork screwing or porpusing during unorthodox shooting positions....then I put two nocks on.

[Bow Bum]

2 nocks just gives me confidence that my arrow is not sliding down the string at the shot.
