Thanks for passing on your experience and knowledge

Love this video! We've been including string angle measurements in all of our bow reviews for 2024, specifically because it can be so helpful in ensuring that a bow "fits" the archery at full draw. Interesting also to consider that a larger string angle can also move the peep closer to your face and make the aperture in your peep smaller, therefore letting less light in through the peep. Then again, that same larger string angle can also make it much easier to keep a vertical neck posture and find your reference points at full draw - everything is a tradeoff!

It's a good idea with an arrow without a tip, I wouldn't have thought of it myself. It is good to have such an arrow and check the nockpoint for pinch from time to time with this arrow.

Thanks Dud! I was thinking about this exact thing and wondering. Thanks for clearing this up for me!

Thanks you for sharing all your knowledge! By far the best breakdown of archery and all the little details that make a HUGE difference.

The way you explain things are Great brother 👍 ,will help many!!!

Awesome explanation…guess I can use that to help justify a draw board to my wife!!

GREAT TIPS

Thank you.

So much to learn. If the amount of "pinch" is off should I change the nocks (I didn't realize there were those differences) or have the nock/d-loop re-tied? At least I am finding more excuses to use for why I don't shoot well!

Lol, it's all within reason, there's a margin of error, the biggest thing you'll notice is that your arrow will lift up on it's own during your draw cycle if there's too much pinch, which can be hard to see if you use a whisker biscuit. Otherwise if it's good through paper and consistent you are good to go.

Paige Pierce video How To Check Nock Pinch shows how it's really done.

I like short ATA bows and have been fighting this as well I now do what you have shown and it works great I know if I have nock pinch after a while my center serving is bad and have to redo it...

I’ve done some testing with nock pinch and what I’ve found is as long as it’s not enough pinch to bring the arrow off the rest at all it didn’t give me any issues. Would shoot barehafts at 80-100 yards with the same consistency even with some pinch. With that said I’m also shooting 33 inch bows at 27.5 inches which isn’t going to apply nearly as much pinch as guys like yourself

Agreed, as long as the arrow isn't lifting during your draw, and your paper tune is good, whatever nock pinch you may or may not have is inconsequential

Great video with tips and facts….question:…don’t beat me up guys as I am just asking…but John…could a guy use A draw board and pull the bow back and at that point check the nock pinch?…how do you think a guy could best do that if that’s a way to test/set draw loops to set for no nock pinch…?…thanks guys😊

Never mind…I didn’t watch the video long enough lol…you answered my question…dumb me…thanks john

Hey bro i love your content thanks for all the advice , i want to go to work for someone like you , some sort of an apprentice or internship type of deal do you have any ideas for me ?

A broader angle can be called more obtuse and a sharper angle can be referred to as more acute. Despite them meaning more or less than 90 degrees respectively

Is there a Prime angle to shoot? for example if my draw length is 30" would a axle to axle that matches give a better angle to shoot(since it would make an even triangle). Or is that too sharp of an angle? If so what would that prime angle be?

I just file my nocks or spread or hone my nocks so they are absolutely perfect,especially if my nock points or d loop pull together to much .

so i have a 26.5" in draw. Would I benefit from a long axle to axle bow? I am trying to get as much speed as possible. Comparing lets say the same bow, but one has a 30 ATA and a 34ATA bow, which one would i be better of shooting if speed was the number one priority. Thanks in Advance. appreciate all the info you provide.

Shorter ATA bows tend to be faster. A longer ATA bow would help reduce hand torque and should hold on target a little better though.
