RE: How to tie in nocksets and a D-loop
 

thanks for the post... My loop broke that the shop had put on and instead of going back, spending 10-20bucks there it costed me a whole 2 dollars worth of string. Even got the loop shorter which made drawing easier and shoots better if you ask me.

RE: How to tie in nocksets and a D-loop
 

I've tied string loops for a while now but first time I ever tied on nock points. Mine seem to be tight and uniform although I didn't use any dental floss to bring the thread back through under itself. Seemed to work ok without the floss. But I want to take this opportunity to thank Greg for posting this great information. Couldn't have tied the nocks without it. Good job Greg!!!!

Greg, Great post very well done all the way around!!

i still cant do it yet. ill figure it out one day

Tie in a nockset and D-Loop
 

EXCELLENT depiction of a previously abstract concept - Thank You!
.
Successful effort on my 1st try YehHah... I too ended up removing the tied D-loop and burning the second ball end off bow to assure that I did not burn (another) string set.
.
For future consideration I measured it and I actually used a 4" length measured after the melted tip (no Flame) ball ends were fashioned.
.
I used a brass nock to define the high mark of the nocking point with the D-loop below the nock and above the arrow. The lower leg was pulled up snug below the arrow as I pulled it tight with my release and opposing hand followed eventually by a few dozen test shots to settle the string.

I also re-tied my peep using a variation of your nocking point technique which seems to be working very well indeed.

Knowledge is confidence and you have given this community a gift that MANY ARE SURE TO APPRECIATE.

Thank you!

Good deal! Thanks Greg

Thanks for your time and effert, it will prabably help me fix my bow.

Thankyou, it's very helpfull!

Greg,

What diameter is the nock point thread?

Thank!

Nice informative thread Greg! precisely because of this information, I am on this forum. I think the best way to show it and I get it. :hail:

Great info! Thanks for the time and effort to post!

Great great post! My question is this, can this be used with brass nocks intead of tied ones? is there a advantage to the tied nocks over the brass?

Sure you could, but brass nocks are considered heavy... hence the tied-in nocksets.

Plus, they look way cooler too. ;)

There's also the fact that by tying in your nocksets, you control the length of the top and bottom. Notice how evenly the release pulls on the D-loop by having my lower nockset approximately twice the length of the top one.

Wow I even amazed myself
 

Thanks, Greg. I know you posted this years ago, but what a web tool. I am a life long sailor and archer and I have never seen a knot tying sequence explained so well. You should do Power Point presentations for a living! I tied one on and it came out perfect. I found one little imperfection in the way the line melted just so I would have an excuse to cut it off and redo it! Then I went and got my sons bow and proceeded to cut his loop off much to his horror. Tied a third one on to his bow perfectly. Kudos fellow Archer! Happy Hunting.!

Great Post!!!

I do however think your draw length is a little long!

With hunting season around the corner I thought it prudent to put this back up top.

Really good job on the site, Thanks for guide!

Good stuff Greg. You promised and came through. That took some time, I'm sure. Thanks.

Good work with a lot of information.
