RE: Question about goldtip nocks.... the lock nocks.
Never thought of it like bonecollector describes, but it makes sense.
Anyway, you want the string all the way down into the throat of the nock. If you just stick it on until you get the first snap and then shoot, the string is going to push on through and get the second snap into the throat anyway. Having the string bouncing around in the nock like that is very likely to REALLY upset the arrow flight.
