Anyone use string nocks?

chasing crow:
Wrapped thread. I can nock quickly by feel if needed due to dim light or keeping my eyes on my prey. I have problems with consistancy without it.

Pat B:
A pic is worth a thousand words...


This is a R/D bow David Knight gave me. I don't have a nocking point on the string but can shoot it relatively good just by feel. I will add a nocking point and practice well with it before I hunted with it.


This is my regular bow. It is a bendy handle yew self bow with a floppy rest. You can see the thread wrapped nocking point above the 3/8" above horizontal.
  A bow square is the only way I know of measuring this. They are pretty cheap and necessary as far as I'm concerned.

Kegan:
I prefer the brass ones, but thread is more easily available. I start with a tape-marker that's slightly up from parallel (I just start off going by eye) and then bareshaft. If the bare shaft consistently shoots low, then I lower the nocking point. If they consistently go high I raise the nocking point. Quickest and easiest way I know of to find the right point.

aero86:
thanks pat!

aznboi3644:
for now I just go by look and feel...no real nocking point
