did 2 nock points help you?
« on: February 05, 2015, 01:25:00 PM »
I have seen so much on this and it seems it has helped a lot of 3 under shooters. If you have had experience with this please tell. good, bad or indifferent.

I started using 2 nock points when I started shooting 3-under. I switched back to split, but still use 2 nock points as I think it keeps me from pinching the arrow nock between my fingers.

It doesn't hurt a thing.. Works great for three under.

I shoot 3 under and it made a world of difference in my tuning.  Wouldn't catch me without it.

I shoot three under and have had issues with the lower knock hitting the tip of my long nose. I have a scab right now from it. I do have a high anchor though.

this maybe stupid, but do you still slightly touch the arrow nock with a finger even when two nocks??

A double nock point gives a great deal of forgiveness as the arrow is loosed whether you shoot split or 3 under. Why wouldn't any archer want his nock position to be surely consistent until it leaves the string?

I believe you do still touch the arrow with two nocks. But maybe not as much pressure is applied to hold the arrow in place, I shoot with two nocks and use split finger.

thinking about just tying one under with floss to see what it does at some point, but I like the idea. Will floss work?

Yes floss will work or you can take an 1/8" strip of masking tape and wrap in in place. It's a whole lot easier to remove if you don't like it.

Once I have my bow tuned I use 2 tied on nocks of D97. It'll last forever.

I shoot three under and use a brass nock on top and dental floss on the bottom. I was having problems with my arrows hitting nock way high no matter where I moved my nock low or high and someone on here recommended I tie on a lower nock on and that did the trick. 2 nocks keep the arrow from moving down the string once you release.

bigbadjon has it right. The second nock is under there for after the string leaves your fingers. I have had arrows slide down the string after release creating terrible unfixable results in arrow flight.

I will never shoot without two tied on nocks. Matters not if shooting 3 under or split.

Floss will work just fine.  I have started using strands of old bowstrings I had laying around, and I like that for tie on nocks a good deal.  It seems a little more durable than serving string.  Just my opinion.

I use two brass nocks and shoot 3 under. It really helped with my release and tuning.

agreed times 3

Allen at Ten Ring Strings puts double tie on nock points on the string if you request it. Great service.
