I’ve watched a few videos and nothing comes close the way she explain step by step was very clear to me excellent video she should be a teacher in archery

[@KanitSataman]

Thank you this video is very precise and easy to follow.

[@bmook019]

This is awesome! This video makes it very easy to follow and do yourself. I'll be doing this on my satori.

Hi Mackensie, it's great when top archers give something back by sharing their knowledge and experience with the archery world! Thank you!👍👍👍😊 My favourite way of doing nocking points was the Beiter plasti nocking point served directly onto the string! Perhaps you could do a review of it? 👍😊

[@johncalebsteele]

Thank you so much. Excellent tutorial!

[@realMartinHamilton]

Nice job! Very neat.

[@VOGTLANDOUTDOORS]

NICELY done !...

[@johnp1839]

Does the size of serving material matter (i.e. .019 or .025) or what is recommended for tie on nock points? Thanks and great video!

[@XxLuvverofMusicxX]

If you look at 1:24 in the video you see the unopened packet of power grip string and the size marked on the packet is .009. However the spool Mackenzie appears to be using has a size of .014.

[@petethescalemodeller6130]

so whats that in centimeters please :)

[@chrisbahlmann4263]

Does this hold better that the over/under technique?

[@jcarry5214]

It can't hold worse.

[@staglite]

Just for clarification these are non-movable nocking points?

[@athenovae]

staglite yes. Once on, these will not move on you.

[@syedzulfiqaralishah517]

Thank you

[@ddeboy002]

First you need to have your bow string stretched. After that then you can perm your nocks.

[@dazzyd1964]

Liking this technique A LOT! Very neat, thank you:)

[@williambilse]

Mackenzie I pick up my remnants. When you wrap the NP thread, do you go the same direction as the center serving is wrapped? Or try to go the opposite direction so you don't separate the center serving threads? Thanks for the vid.

[@davetoth9767]

Nice presentation, thank you

[@sibrayJP]

How much for the Satori wood grips? Haha

[@thenicosystem8606]

great video, great explanation!

[@Paintppa1]

Are these movable?

One tip for folks like me that hate getting flame near their bow string: You can wrap your string with aluminum foil around what you are going to burn, I especially do this around the peep where the string is exposed. Of course, remove the foil after it is done protecting the string. Lastly, if you light a toothpick, and use it, then it provides a smaller and cooler flame that is on a handy precision stick (just don't wait too long with the toothpick held so that it lights too much). Again, I like this around the peep especially, since Dyneema melts at a very low temperature.

[@jmcb5215]

Use the blue part of the flame. I build strings. Blue flame is more stable and cooler coming out of the ligher so there's more control

[@MrShysterme]

@@jmcb5215 Good tip, I've heard that one before. I'm sure the toothpick is too slow for a string maker. But for someone doing small jobs, I'll state that the toothpick will surprise you. A smaller and cooler flame on a stick you can reach with and not get your fingers in it. What's not to love?
