Speed ?
Pat B:
The only way to tell is to do a test and see. I'd be curious to hear your results.
Kegan:
If you're talking about those little brass crimp on ones, no, they don't add speed, except if you're shoting quickly. At which point they add LOTS of speed (lots of arrows quickly) :).
Mangeur de lard:
Hey guys,
Never heard of adding nocking to the center improved arrow speed (which makes sense, anything on the center of the bowstring will reduce arrow speed, be it a heavier arrow, heavier/thicker serving or multiple nocking points) BUT I competed a lot with the compound and I know for sure that a couple nocking points on the END of the string, about two inches from the pulleys, did add a few fps. I dont think such a fix would improve speed on a selfbow.
cheers

I've read about several instances where those brass nocks have come loose and bounced off the bow's limb and taken an eye out.............something to consider. A lighter thread wrap for a string nock would be more beneficial. Developing a good release will do more for added speed than anything else IMO.

Hmmmm.....nope. Don't see any reason why the speed would increase. Probably would reduce the speed, as already mentioned.
