Thank you. My previous attempts at nock marking have been a mess. Watched your video twice and then step by step as I tied and the results were incredible. I have done my string and my sons and I am sure I can do even better with a bit more practice. This Aussie archer is happy I found you.

Nicely illustrated! Thank you!

OUTSTANDING! Thumbs up!

Very nice. Just did one. Easy to do and very strong!

Nice and clear ...now to mine.

Perfect !!!!!

nice. thanks very much.

Nice

Dammit I fell asleep because of the music...

Hi Evans. Do you remember the diameter of the thread. 0.14, 0.18?

Nice video. What is the measuring device and what is the material used to wrap?

Brian M Thanks. The measuring device is called a bow square. basicly it clips on the string and then sits on the rest. you can use it for measuring nocking points and he brace height of the bow. I tied this nocking point with normal black BCY 2D serving I think.

is this knocking point adjustable by twisting it?

Melting the plastic probably makes it permanent.

Why do you use fire, not glue?

There are different schools of thought in this regard, but from what I understand most glues would harden, which you don't want in a high stress place like the knocking points. Furthermore, it might shatter and the shards might damage the string (again, that's how it's been explained to me... I have no direct experience of this). Some people like to use hot glue instead, but you still need fire or some other source of heat to melt it. Melting the ends of the thread is a quick and easy way to prevent the nocking points from unravelling (and my own preferred method), but I personally don't bother trying to melt the whole nocking point like in the video. Note that for this to work you need to use some slow melting thread, like nylon (which is what BCY nocking point thread is made of). In my experience polyester burns way too quickly, and of course natural fibres like cotton don't melt...

why Korean style?

Not being funny but if you used longer Piece of Serving You find get less fiddly. That said Nice tidy job

i like the served nocks better than the over wrapped "ball" , the process would be less fiddly if you waited to trim the first tag end til the whole nock is pulled tight and done. one less thing to hold on too. nice job!

NEVER put the flame under the string and/or serving... that is purely common sense

d w Absolutely... you melt DOWN to the string, not up.

Thank you for not having pretty and polished fingernails. I completely HATE them when guys do close up videos on youtube!

I couldn't watch this video; those nasty nails were making me ill.
