Double nock points on the bow string?

[Flying Dogg]

I started using two nock pts.to prevent my arrow from falling to the ground with the bow and arrow hanging on a hook in the treestand. Without an arrow holder the arrow was being blown off the rest in windy conditions. The lower nock pt. will pinch the dangling arrow just enough to keep it from falling. I did not notice any difference in arrow flight.

In hunting situation (first arrow missed) ,(adrenalin rush) maybe you can put second arrow below bottom nock point and make failure ? What you think ?

If you make the bottom nock slightly larger than the top nocking point, AND if you practice feeling it with your thumb when you nock an arrow without looking, it becomes quite easy to nock an arrow in a rush with two nocking points.  However, you absolutely need to handle the arrow by the nock. This is easier to do with indexed nocks like Mercuries and Classics.  It is a lot easier to get a hold on that nock if your arrows are in a back quiver.

Anyone know a great method for tying on knocks that won't unravel or roll itself down the serving?

Actually , when you pull hard both ends , nock stay on place without any chance to move

Two nock points for me too. I shoot three-under, but why would it make any difference for three-under or split? Once your fingers are off the string it's all the same.

Here's a link to some videos that show the nock movement at release with only one nocking point. I tie on two with a series of opposing overhand knots, finish with a granny, snip, and burn. Easy and adjustable.

I use a small piece, 1", of a stirring straw and tie a nail knot, same as described in video but substitute straw for pencil. Takes less than a minute to tie and twists up/down. Also lays flat and looks neat, always had trouble with the alternate overhand knot method laying flat and clean looking.

I've always used 2 nocks, I shoot 3 under, as already stated it keeps the arrow from sliding down the string, and i use the bottom nock as a reference on where my index finger is on the string when I draw so as to not pinch the arrow on the string.  I shoot with a damascus glove so I have a little better feel,  my personal preference.

Howard Hill from what I've read used a lower nocking point. this would prevent the arrow from slipping down and it would be less likely to slip upwards. I am going to give it a try. Anyone else have experience with it this way?

Been doing them this way since Hector was a pup. No confusion about where to nock and the arrow slides right in where it needs to be.
Whether you nock above or below doesn't matter, just tie to suit.
No slipping either.

Charlie, I like you're set up as I frog at night and have to use caution not to nock above or below.
I'm gonna give it a try on my frog bow. Nicely done. I also thought the gentleman that did the Youtube vid above did an excellent job.

Thanks for all to response. I shoot 3 finger and my arrows fit good. They snap in and when I turn the bow horizontal and tap the string they come off easily. But I do see the point about creating consistency and less worry about if your arrow is nocked in the correct place before the shot. Less worries more confidence in consistency. I that makes any sense.

I was thinking about how to nock above with a double nock....I know I'd screw it up, this would virtually eliminate it and I have a pile of number 4 laying around to do it with!  Thanks Charlie!
