Nocking point methods with a loop
 

Just curious what everyone uses, seems everyone has their own method. I use a tied on nock above the arrow, with a string loop outside of that.
I' ve read a standard clamp on nock is more stable, I' ve read it' s better to use a nock below the arrow when using a loop, as it put' s the release closer to the center of the string, a lot of folks use a tied in nock above AND below the arrow, with the loop outside of that. I see more and more people with just a loop, wouldn' t this setup continue to pinch the arrow more and more over time? I' m running out of things to fool with on my bows, everything else is ready for the opener, I neeed something to think about and mess with. ;)
I' d appreciate thoughts from the board members

I just tie one knot above and one below facing the other direction so that the loop doesn' t try to pull from only one side of the string.
If it looks like it' s trying to pinch my nock I just put an arrow in and crank it up and down a little, it will then spread open.

I use the top knot of the string loop nothing more

DaveC, you don' t get any separation with your serving when moving the arrow up and down, it just spreads the loop?
Bigpapascout, are you saying there' s a gap between the bottom knot, and the arrow, and the nock only touches the loop at the top?

I use tie on nocks above and below my arrow nock with my loop outside of each.
I have done it this way since I started using a loop. Never had problems with nock pinch.

not that my way is any better but i put a pinch on nock on my string then tie a loop on the outside of it. this is good for me b/c when my loop wears out i can just tie another one in and not have to worry about measuring it or my sites changing b/c my nock is higher or lower than the original placement.

We got into somewhat of a good discussion on this several weeks ago. I will see if I can find the thread in question.

As for myself, I have been experimenting with shooting a " low loop" . The nockset is tied onto the string and the arrow is nocked below it. Then the top knot of the string loop is located directly beneath the arrow nock.

I set a metal nocking point and then tie my string loop above and below the nocking point. When I replace my loop I dont have to redo my nocking point.
