Nock Point..what do you use?

[John (OSF)]

After my beiter np breaking tonight I've temporarily gone back to 'clove hitched' lump super-glued, how does everyone else make theirs? What do you think is the neatest?

Boring I know but I just use a single brass nock ring.

And before anyone mentions it, yes I know it slows the string yadda yadda but it does the job for me.

Never tried "making" my own nock points, though I have seen it done. I'd love to learn how to do it properly some day.

I use some cheap serving material red in colour, I tie the material around the string and the do a double blood knot away from the nock and towards the nock pull both ends tight and super glue this makes a very light nocking point and it is more durable than dental floss which is what i used to use.

Thanks Nick that sounds much better than the 'lump'. I'll try that today

I do the same exact thing on my trad bows except been using blue serving material. Target bow has a Beiter nock point.

I use a Beiter nocking point,I too used to have problems with cracking until I found out that my centre serving was too tight and the only part that could flex was the nocking point.

The B np's are great but I've been 'jamming' all sorts of nocks into it recently so it's my own faut.Thanks for the tip though

I generally tie a normal knot over a piece of old dental floss in a loop and then wind round till I get a decent size nocking point. All I do then is pull the ends through with the loop and superglue them - doesn't move at all.

Nothing is as neat as a bieter NP...for sure nothing gves that satisfying contant 'click' as you nock an arrow....the sound alone is a very 'good indication' that there's no nock damage..

I do agree with John though:
If you just want to try someone elses arrows for a quick test it's a pain, as you have to fit the arows with the right size bieter nocks - or risk ruining the Bieter nock point. Personally I've found them very durable if you're using the right size for the string- and the right arrow nocks.
