The EASIEST Archery Nocking Point - How To Tie and Set A Nock Point for Beginners

I'll show you how to easily make the best quick and simple nocking point.

Tying and setting your nocking point properly is really important for your vertical grouping and consistency, and learning how to make your own is a little bit of a right of passage for new archers, so don't be afraid to give it a go and make your own! I know that learning it as a beginner is a bit daunting to say the least, but this method is super easy and really quick to do.

This is the most simple, quick method which is easy to learn, but for the BEST, MOST SECURE AND CLEANEST nocking points, check out my other video:

Enjoy, and thanks for watching!

I have watched so many videos on this that have made a mess of this process.
This video is brilliantly done. It’s very clear and well shot. This is the only video you should watch to nock your bow.

Like many others who have commented, I'm a novice recurve target archer, so I REALLY appreciate this simpler method for tying nocking points. Thank you.
I hesitate to offer a suggestion to an expert like you, but you mentioned (and demonstrated) that the final loop in each nocking point "series" tends to loosen while you're removing the gaps between wraps. As you're tying that last loop, try simply running the "tag" end of the serving material through the open loop TWICE instead of once. This creates what we recreational fishermen call a "surgeon's knot, " and it won't open up as easily as a simple overhand knot. Just a thought . . .

Good explanation, thanks! One addition thing that I do is to run the thread through a stick of glue a couple of times to coat it before I start. It makes the thread a bit more grippy and easy to handle.

Came across your video some time ago and filed it away for future use. Used it today on a new string, works a treat and is so much less complicated than the Korean method. Incidentally, it's called West Country whipping, normally used on ships rope ends.

Thank you for this one! I've watched a LOT of your videos. I'm a beginner archer. It's great fun. I just tied my first nock point. Cannot wait to try. But today is raining... :(

Literally watched 100 videos tonight about nocking, i bought brass points and a metal d loop with my first bow not realising firstly id need pliers for the brass ones and a release aid for a d loop... i thought you just put your finger in the d loop to draw back 😅😅 So now ive come across this video ive just ordered some serving and gonna do this method. Thankyou so much! Your other videos ive seen have been great use too!

Excellent tutorial thank you! first time replacing my nocking points been shooting 8 months and all your videos are invaluable, thank you :)

I use this method all the time, with a twist. I always run the thread through some hot-melt adhesive (not melted) to get som “stickiness” to it. And when I’m done i keep a lighter close to the nocking point to melt the glue stuck to the thread. That makes a nocking point that doesn’t move when your doing your knots, and really sticks when it’s done. When you need to remove it, it’s still really easy since hot-melt adhesive doesn’t behave like normal glue.

This particular serving method has served me well. It doesn't budge a single bit! Thank you for sharing these tips!

Thanks mate. Your channel is a great resource.

Awesome video Brother! Very clear & concise, thankyou!👊😇👌

I was shooting without nocking points. I was wondering why it was always a bit to high or a bit too low when I aim it nicely. I would hit bullseye sometimes but I’m sure that’s because I accidentally found the perfect Nock point on my bow

[movmveq]

Thanks🌹 sir , ,
It is perfect👍👍💯💯

[titusm]

thanks,
what about finishing with a double knot? then cutting and burning?
and...what about wax instead of superglue? This way you can move it if needed in time.

[riccoratzo]

Nice Bong Lighter ;)

Good video, thank you!

[engrharisasif]

One month in now in archery, slow learning these things 🙌 loving the educational content

[INIear]

Good video! I'd like to know more about anchor thumb position

[jeroennagtegaal]

Very well explained. Thank you.
What I don't understand: why would you place the bottom knock point at 8 mm above centre? Doesn't that place the arrow in a slightly downward inclined position? Why should the arrow not be exactly straight?
