ALWAYS use nocking points with your D-LOOP (here's why)

I get lots of questions about why "I use tied nocking points" but more importantly "what are my thoughts on using a DLoop without nocking points. In this video I give you the rundown and the "WHY" so you can decide what's best for you. This information will without a doubt, make you more accurate.

Man I’ve been doing this since I first started about 11 years ago. You can instantly tell the difference. Spot on.

Watching you I've been doing my own soft knots for the dloop and yes my accuracy improved funny thing is most shops i go to will not do them and really don't believe in them just bought new rx8 so wanted it set up by a pro besides redoing everything tech did the first dloop material he used was for a kids bow the really thick stuff I've never seen it so thick so thank you for videos teaches me alot oh got bow shooting pin holes now

[@michaelschnitzer4054]

This is great advice. I started doing this and it makes changing d-loops much easier.

So true, when i reserve my center serving, i take a micrometwr and get an exact (to the thousands) position of my top knot nocking point. Even still if im even off a little, usually because im landing between strands of serving, my 70 yard inpact will be off 4-6 inches

One thing I've found over the years of fighting the sloppy knocking point deal is that this is all for nothing if an unsuitable center serving prone to separation in tight corners is used on the string (3D, 62XS, Halo, etc. are popular offenders). If the serving separates under the knots, even just the littlest tiny bit, the entire knocking point area is compromised, no matter how many blobs of stuff are tied all over the string there. So, IMO only - more than extra nocking points, a suitable center serving like Angel Majesty or BCY Powergrip is absolutely mandatory. On these formulas, the thread will stay round and not flatten out like a slinky like a simple twisted pair/braided serving will. That tightness keeps the d-loop knots absolutely locked in place. I choose to use just a bare d-loop for simplicity's sake (I'm not good enough of a shot to benefit from extra nocking points), but either way, I use Angel Majesty for my center serving when I build my strings. That completely gets rid of any and all separation under the knots and ends the oozing knocking point and/or slowly creeping, pinching the knock over time, etc., syndromes completely.

I depends on the bow and the nocks on the person's arrows. I always ask the customer if they want them or not. Every bow and setup will have different tendencies, and soft-nocks can be detrimental in some scenarios. I've seen partial dry-fire of bows where the soft nocks pinched the nock off the string far enough that it wasn't getting good contact. Caused erratic arrow flight, and a dangerous scenario.

[@ВладимирПрименко-о5б]

The problem is that the d-loop shifts and pinches the arrow, shifting the knockpoint tighter. To avoid this, we need a soft material for the d-loop, which I did not find on sale, at least.

John, my tied nocking points have frayed and loosened over time. They are in need of replacement. In your opinion should I start over with tuning after replacing my nock set?

[@nockonarchery]

It is certainly a wearable items so if the center serving looks compromised at all it’s worth replacing.

[@HuckFTW]

@@nockonarchery Thanks John, but you missed my question. Let me rephrase: In your experience, does a bow need to be retuned after tied nocking points are replaced?

@@kansasarcherycenter1004 what are you talking about? He’s made numerous videos Dloops, what does it matter if it’s his idea or not, he explains it better than most.
