3 Under one or two nocking point?

[Bear Heart]

I shoot three under and have always tied a nocking point above and called it good.  Should I be using one above and one below?

[Kris11b]

I have tried both ways and I feel like I am much more accurate with 3 under, I think it's because the arrow is closer to my eye.

[Bear Heart]

Let me clarify.  Should I tie a nocking point above where the arrow is to be nocked on the string and call it good as I have been doing?  Or should I start tying a nocking point above and below where the arrow is to be nocked on the string.

Shot 3 under for a few years with one nocking point above. Worked okay but arrow popped off the string too much. Went to 2 nocking points and a nice nock fit and all is good. Try two nocking points.

I shoot 3 under and always use two tied on nock points.  If there's any chance that it will help when you have a slightly loose nock, why not tie on two?  Works for me!

I like two.

How do you get the right spacing for the second nocking point?

[jkm97]

I put an arrow on the string and crimp on the low nock with a tad of wiggle room.

I tie two nocks on. I have noticed if the nock is loose on the string is seems it may slide down slightly on release. With two nocks I just seem to get better arrow flight. I want the lower nock to not place any tension on the arrow nock. So it is tied just below the nock. It should not be pinching the arrow nock in other words.

I have had better results with two.

[Bear Heart]

I will give it a try.  I haven't had any issues, that I noticed anyway, but always looking to get rid of a variable.

Two. If you ever saw the video of the guy shooting 3-under and the nock slipping down the string on release, you would use two also!

I use two as well, used one for years but do seem to get better flight with two less chance of a dry fire.

[David Bartholomew]

Ditto on two(2).

[Shinken]

I have always used one (above) nocking point with a moderate to tight snap-on nock and always had most-excellent results with 3-under since I converted to LH shooting.

I would try both (one and two nocking points) - I believe that you will discover quickly what works best for you and your set up....

Keep the wind in your face!

Shoot straight, Shinken

As has been stated, it depends on your set-up.  The generally accepted guideline of ideal nock fit is a light tap on the string will cause a dangling arrow to fall off.  Mine aren't that loose but, too-tight will adversely affect accuracy and noise also.  I don't know if the inventor of this rule ever heard of snap-on nocks, but they will generally slide along the string easily and can't be easily dislodged by tapping the string. If they slide on the string, I use two with about a 1/8th" gap below the bottom of the nock to allow for angle at full draw.

Here's a slow mo video showing why you should use 2 nocking points.

Started putting two on today.
