It's as if you've been following me around. I started Archery (Recurve) just a few months back and I've never made my own knocking point so while I was shooting today it started coming loose and I was talking to another new archer about me wanting to learn this and have it done. So thanks for this. Perfect timing :)

[@TheNockingPoint]

At the nocking point KZbin channel, we endorse this method! :-) Great tip on the hot melt! Thank you.

[@StremmeR]

Hutchie 2112 I am pretty sure the headgear does make all the difference. did you also try different models? I stick with the tropical hat, it works flawlessly for snap shots Sincerely, a bare bow shooter.

[@StremmeR]

Hutchie 2112 "a typical day at the lake with frieds" end up with me having a crapheap stick bow and at least 5 (working) arrows xD ... No bird will steal from our BBQ dammit!

[@TheNockingPoint]

Hutchie 2112 We won't hold not having a nocking point against you. Just as long as you have the information about how easy it is to put one on. It's all about choice. I like not having to determine the arrow angle, when I nock an arrow.

[@TheNockingPoint]

Hutchie 2112 Just watched your video on the new hat. Do you think that we should have this conversation on a forum or our KZbin channels? :-)

Zero "Over Engineering" here! K.I.S.S. Keep. it. Simple ??. Thank you! This will be on my strings in hours! Big fan of simple solutions.

[@f8744]

thank you Karina, you'r not only a wonderfull archer but also a good teacher.

[@ikarma70]

Good tip on the hot melt glue stick, trying that on my new bow set up, thankyou very much!!!

[@alainawilliams2565]

Great info! Just ordered my little girl her 1st bow. Subscribed 👍🏽

[@YoshiIkagawa]

Thanks for the tutorial! I used brass nock points before and they were unsatisfying. Time to try a new technique!

[@hotrodhotrod-wc3bu]

How do you know exactly where your knocking point should be.

[@mrcool3430]

Use a bow scale

[@mannysabir1339]

I was just thinking about that- one on top and bottom. Great video! 👍🏾

[@johnp1839]

Does this method allow the nocking point to be adjustable?

[@geraldgreen9991]

Good job explaining it !!

[@adamforbes1019]

I know this is an older video, but what type of thread was used here?

[@rageoftheredphoenix]

Can I use crazy glue?

[@archeryandy422]

Great explanation

[@jimbernard8964]

Clean simple easy. Thanks.

[@whuanimations243]

I just want my string to be tighter its getting kind of loose. Can you tell me how to tighten the string?

[@sarahhernandezrice9392]

Very good!! Great Job!!

[@Briansgate]

What's the advantage of tying nocks rather than just getting brass ones?

[@bluebow68]

several reasons..1/the brass nocks add unnecessary weight to the string..and 2/ The brass nocks have sharp edges and can tear your tab up somewhat..at least ware the tab more..3/The string or dental floss method makes for a smoother release..hope this helps..

[@tyrotrainer765]

@@bluebow68 Aha!!! Never thought of dental floss, you're a genius, thanks! 2 years late, but hope you get to see this.

[@bluebow68]

@@tyrotrainer765 Not really a genius..but thanks for the shot in the arm...Happy shooting,...;-)

[@justus005]

Can monofilament be used?

[@dangsportsactivitiesarcher4994]

please your new video bow tuning

[@jalmarverbraak5662]

which soundtrack do they use

[@MrPostm]

Best nock point method. Never going back to brass.

[@ItsRaitisLV]

Brass nock points will destroy your tab

[@phantomcruizer]

Good and informative video...however you left out how many knots you tied .

[@zoxwolf2133]

One knot up, one knot down x 3. No need to go in another direction with enough thick serving thread. If you go in another direction one more time you will have one fat nocking point which is useless weight on string and further more if you dont use glue it can become loose in time. If you aply glue it can stick to your serving and you cant fine tune later. So one direction is enough, apply enough pressure and melt ends nicely. Now you can screw nock up or down like nut on thread for fine tune. Later you can decide to apply some CA but it is not necessary. I use Angel Mayesty 0,26" for my nocks and never had loose one. Cheers

[@ackeeble]

What type of glue is that plastic tube?

[@erg0centric]

The first one is a stick of hot melt glue at 0:40 , the bottle at the end is cyanoacrylate

[@bandicoot5412]

Good to go girl!

[@yi-tzaistoyreview4576]

I guess if u need to change it, you won't be able to. So initially maybe don't make it so permanent until you know it can be permanent and then make it permanent.

[@tromba831]

Knocking? ;)

[@ramargate]

Thank you for this video pretty woman... 😚

[@jkgkjgkijk]

I like the Korean method better.

[@davidhefner5668]

There is only one nocking point. Stop calling the knots nocking points. The the nocking point is the area between the two knots. The ''nocking height" is the vertical measurement on the string horizontal from the arrow rest.

[@mennyapokolba]

❤︎

[@zoxwolf2133]

No need to go double on nocking point. Just in one direction with let say Angel Mayesty 0,26" and melt it with lighter. No ned to aply CA glue. It will stick to your serving and you cant fine tune nock point afterward. I am shooting like this and never experience loose nocking point. Anyway nice video World Archery
