Default RE: nocking point

i use about 2 feet or more of sewing thread(thin/fine)....just start by tying an overhand not and start wraping the thread around the string...after about 15 times around i measure again with a bow squareto make sure its in the correct spot(continue wraping back and forth over itself to make it about the size of asmall brass nock....

i wax the bowstring heavy in the spot before i start and wax over thenock real good half way throu and when im done...it wont move...and if you feel like moving it after you shoot a bit you can peel the end up and unwrap move and rewrap.....ive never felt comfortable using just a little single strand of thread(and slidingit up and down)to test my nock point, because i feel like its inconsistent and ill never find the right spot....

ive always used this method and it doesnt move on me...all i have to do is keep wax on it....or if u want dab avery small amout of cement on it.
