Default Drop Away Down Cord and X-Coat?

Well - come on hot shots.

Anyone find a real good system for securing drop away cord to WC X-coat cable?????

Two nocks - shrink wrapped is the best I came up with

Hey Rack I found this over on archery talk. Seems like it would work pretty good. I plan on trying it when I get my Patriot next month.

X-coat is like serving. I would just tie in a nock and then use a larkshead knot on the rest cable (like on a string loop). Or you can just serve the cord over the X-coat for about an inch.

If you look at page 5 of that link, I made several posts. Not a smart thing to do, IMPO.

JeffB's ideas have much more credence over using nok sets on bare strings or even 'X-coats'.
