I was wondering if there is an advantage to using string nocks with a d loop or just going with a d loop minus the string nocks. Im looking to get away with the string nocks but was wondering if just a d loop alone would pinch the nock more so. Thanks Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
was wondering if they also used the brass nocks along with the d loop or just a d loop. I guess i worded it a bit funky. Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
I've done both. Depends on what release you are using. I set it up on year with a single nock on the top side of the nock point. I did this in case I was way back and the d-loop came loose or broke. I could clip the release to the string and still fire. Now the only nock point I use is used as a kisser button. I've never heard of nock pinch with a property tied-in and seated D-Loop.
I don't use brass nock points on my d loops. I do however tie a very small serving nocking point below my arrow. This eliminates nock pinch completely as well as giving me a place to tie my d loops off of when I'm messing around with different lengths or what have you. Most bows I set up though I just tie the regular d loop. You want your nock to be able to move just a hair (literally like a mm) inside the loop so you don't have nock pinch. Too much movement will give you inconsistent results almost like nock pinch. hope this helps
Well damn. Im gonna have to do that. I have a brass nock on top and below my arrow nock. Plus a d loop. Thanks for the info Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
How can you tell if your having nock pinch? I'm still learning all this. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
Like on my bow Bee i had arrow nock pinch cause when i would draw back the arrow would jump when it would get almost full draw. Plus you can look at the nock setpoint and see if it is pinching on the arrow nock. Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Ok, thanks. I don't have nock set points, just a d loop. I will have to get nock sets installed. Sent from my iPhone using Bowhunting.com Forums
No dont. Just leave the d loop. Thats what i was asking in this thread. Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
Sorry for the quick end on the last message had something come up. Anyways ill say since i pulled the brass nocks off and just stuck with the d loop my shots are more accurate and arrow flight is alot better. Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
I tie small nocking points above and below the arrow. Like said, it eliminates nock pinch, plus, if you ever replace the d loop, you don't have to worry about where to put it.
I wanna thank everyone for the advice. I learned somethibg new from everyone and for that im grateful. Thanks again!!!! Sent from my SM-N920P using Bowhunting.com Forums mobile app
As a professional string builder I can say if you have nock pinch use tie nocks in between your d loop. I have one tie nock on my bow and it gives enough room for the arrow nock to move freely with out pinching it.
