The large red nocks weigh 7.5 grains each. The smaller black nocks weigh 4 grains each.
A pair of normal pliers on one side, and blunt (flat) head screwdriver in the groove of the nock set. Hold nock tightly in pliers and twist screwdriver till nock is loose enough to be removed. CHEERS!
To get more speed, try shooting lighter than what you're used to. If you currently shoot 125-grain heads, for example, try switching to 100 grains. You'll soon learn why it's the most popular weight in the marketplace. A longer draw length will often provide a few more feet per second.
use shrink tubing for electrical wires, just heat it up and it shrinks instantly. use your nock pliers and lightly crimp the nock at the seperation to get the pliers in between and lightly twist them to open the nockup.
The nocking point marks where you clip your arrow to the bowstring, and keeps it there as you draw and shoot. Although one nocking point is good, two nocking points— one above and one below—the nock ensures your arrow stays positioned throughout the shot.
The nocking point marks where you clip your arrow to the bowstring, and keeps it there as you draw and shoot. Every bowstring needs at least one nocking point. If you go with that lone nocking point, your arrow nock sits snugly beneath it.
I generally use BCY#62 in .025 for string knots (peeps, nocking points).
It is possible with a pinch draw . The pinch draw squeezes the end of the arrow between the thumb and index finger. The fingers can actually hold the string to the end of an arrow without a nock.

- Practice will help you determine your best anchor point—one that's both comfortable and provides the most accurate shooting.
- Your fingers should touch the same anchor point each time you draw the bow.
The best starting point to work from is to place one of these brass markers at a ¼ of an inch above your bow's arrow rest on your bowstring. Your arrow's nock will then be attached right underneath this marker. When placing your initial nocking point marker, simply crimp a brass roundel loosely at your starting point.
Every archer needs a bow square. It's just one of those tools that archers should have on hand to help out with a number of tasks. They will clamp the square to the string, set the ruler on the bow's arrow rest or shelf and then refer to the vertical ruler that's against the string to set their nocking points.
