did 2 nock points help you?

[kat]

I shoot three under, and use two nock points.
Does it help? I don't really know, but it doesn't hurt, so why not.

so i hear that 1/16th space is what you want. so if nock the arrow flush to one nock, there should be 1/16 between the bottom of the nock and the second nock point?

I shoot split and 2 nocking points made me more consistent ( tie on nocks , nail Knot)here's how to

Yes!

There is a slow motion video somewhere showing how a nock slides down the string after release if you don't have two nock points. If you ever see it, you will never shoot with just one nock point again.

It will make tuning easier, and you will be more consistent.

I've used 2 nocks since I started shooting traditional.  I don't have to worry about whether I'm nocking above or below in low light, and I use the bottom nock to locate my index finger on the string.

I wouldn't consider shooting without two nock locators. The distance between the locators is a tiny bit larger than the arrow nock to prevent nock pinch.

I'm a string walker as well so except at 32 yards my top finger never touches the arrow nock once I've set my draw hand.

I use bowstring material to make mine. I have a big spool that unless lost, it will last longer than I do.

I shoot 3 under.Always have always will.  Never put 2 nocks on my strings. Loose nocks is going to give you poor flight and noise upon release. I like a few others here build up my string with Dental Floss.strat below the nock about an inch or so. Up once and down tie off. Tight enough to hold your arrow on the string when I hang my bow on a hook in the tree.

If I could figure how to post a pic I will show my first attempt at it... I have not shot yet, I'm resting myself

I shoot split, so I do not use two nock sets. I have a good friend, who is a very good shooter, like top ten in the state of Tx. This guy does not know squat about tuning. He asked me for some help on a recurve he had. We messed with it and just could not get good arrow flight, no matter what adjustments we made. As a kind of last resort, I noticed he only had one nock set, and told him, "Let's try a second nock set". The next shot was perfect and so were subsequent shots. I am a true believer now, that if you shoot 3-under, you should always have 2 nock sets on your string.

Here's my take on double nocking points.

What Ken Says! X2

I'm a 3 under guy, and I noticed some issues with arrow flight when I was using one nocking point.  It wasn't as bad with a newer string, but as the serving wore down the arrow flight got worse.  A second nocking point fixed the problem.  I wouldn't shoot without two nocking points now.

Very good videos Ryan. Good quality and very informative. I enjoy them a lot.

[hogless]

I use two nochs tied on with b-50 it for no other reason to let you know it one moves

[nineworlds9]

2 for three under.  Optional if split.  I shoot split and seem to do just fine either way.  I tend toward 1 on most of my bows shooting split.

[straight_arrow]

As a tree under shooter, double tied on nocks work the best for me.  No comparison to a single nock.

[2bird]

I use to shoot with 1 nock set, until i seen the slowmo video... 2 nock sets ever since and have been having much better arrow flight.

[VA Elite]

so are you guys just having a small amount of wiggle room between the nocks?
