Archery - HOW TO SET a NOCKING POINT [Tuning #2] with STEVE WIJLER!

- čas přidán 27. 06. 2024
- A nocking point in archery can determine how the arrow flies and if it clears the bow when it's shot. By changing the nocking point, you can tune the bow in such a way that the arrow flies better and you get a more consistent result. Nocking points are typically made out of either a piece of nylon string, or a brass little ring.
In this video, Steve explains how he makes his nocking point and how he decides where to put it!
We hope you enjoy watching this video and that you learn something from it!

I've watched about 6 or 7 how-to-set-nocking-point videos. While the others are very good videos, this one is by far the most comprehensive and useful, especially for a beginner like me. I will be referring to this a few more times in the future. Great instruction, guys!
Agreed, great video, being a clueless beginner I was just going to use a square and adjust elevation on sights. Really nice to learn how to do it properly 👌
Well done on winning the GOLD Steve. Checking up every time to see how you doing. You had me at the end... Nervs of steel. What a beautiful bow you have. Absolutely gorgeous. Acting very professional and keeping calm is halve the job done.
very good video, very informative. Much better than any of the other nocking point videos I've watched.
Again, very helpful and well presented video! Excellent work lads 👍🏼
Thanks Buddies For Taking The Time To Pass The Information On.✌🇺🇸
I wish you a lot of success in all the contests !!!!
maximum concentration !!!
great video - looking forward to seeing more tuning vids:)
Glorious tutorial. GL in Tokyo guys!
Wow, superb video, good lesson for me.
Great video guys
i like the qay you do your nocking point it is simple and it realy works thankx so mutch for showing us
Damn, that is a beautiful recurve.
Thanks!
Great video. I love the tshirt!
Zap a gap is my favorite super glue. The stuff is amazing and is used on high-speed remote-controlled airplanes. Costs a bit extra but well worth it.
Great series of tuning videos guys. You can tell Beiter that you’re responsible for the sale of at least one bow vice (great piece of kit) and I also bought a Formula X riser based on the ease of alignment tuning your video demonstrates (the Faktor is a bitch to tune with those fiddly shims). Bit of a shoutout for Hoyt, the bow was in perfect alignment (using MK Mach X limbs) straight out of the box.
Please do the plunger tuning with bareshaft, i would really love to see how pro players tuning their plunger
Excellent. Danke!
Nice and helpful Thanks
Nice video !
Very useful ITS a cool video 😌
muito bom, parabéns pela aula
Great clip, very helpful :) btw can you tell me what is this mounting bracket you use on the table?
Very useful
Best bow tuning video ever! Can't wait for the next one! (Why don't you just move the original knocking point to the right position directly?? Then you don't need to tie a new one......)
Lo que más me admira, es el enorme desperdicio de hilo‼️
Great explanation, thank you. So if you can make a bare shaft arrow hit the same as flighted arrow, why do we have arrows with flights?
Echo some of the comments below - a reall good video! Thanks guys.
I've found using a very tight "walking" nock point helps when bare shaft tuning for nock height. I'm able to fire an end, adjust my nock point by screwing it down or up the serving and shoot another end until it is in line with my fletched arrows. Once I have my walking nock point in the right location, I'll tie in a permanent nock point underneath, cut the walking nock off, load an arrow and tie the top nocking point.
Me, too. I don't remove my tied in nocking points, I just "screw" them up or down the string. When I get it where I want it, I make my last knot a square knot and burn it off. I do it to both nocking points.
"Please stay tuned"
Maybe keep that for the last one of the series ?
Are there more tuning videos? I can only find #1 & #2 :-(
Super fabbo guys ..😁
Great video. I just use an upper knocking point. What do you think. Love watching you two shoot btw.
Yeah I really don't understand the point of nocking points both above and below. How do you hit that little gap when not looking? I just use a top nock also. Put the arrow anywhere on the string below the nocking point and slide it up into position. I guess these guys are not doing combat archery.
Steve, did you modify the grip that came with the bow, or something else?
Have you used the beiter nocking point before?
Any thoughts if so?
If you tie those on right, you can twist them up and down your serving. Been doing it that way for over 30 years. Never had to cut one off and redo it. This is the whole deal about a tied on nocking point, is the sustainability of the tied on nock up or down the bow string serving. Just screws up or down. Makes it super nice to dial in super precise. Also, no need for a lower nocking point. Just an upper. Wrap it 6-8 times and you have plenty to grab on to to twist it up and down the serving. With split finger, you have 2 fingers pushing up on the arrow nock, so no need for that lower nocking point.
Trying to stay tuned but its tough without "how to tuning" vids ;)
Hi... Does the nocking point shifted once the string being broken? Or it doesn't matter? Once the glue harden, there's no way to make any changes... How often do you change the string?
Can you explain the bare shafts part and why they are used to calibrate it. Is this as important for bare bow archery?
Damn guys de kwaliteit video's gaat omhoog! Ben stiekem wel een beetje trots op jullie
nice
Can the knock point be moved up or down to help w bow tuning, i have a tail high tear, shooting thru a whisker so no upwards adjustment on biscuit..any advice? Besides ditching biscuit?
Nice one! Are you planning to talk about the relation between the tiller/finger pressure or bow center of gravity and nock travel?
There’s a tiller video coming up!
@@TripleTroubleArchery Hasn't tiller settings affect where the nocking point should be?
Only a tiny bit, nothing to worry about too much
If it's possible can u guys make a string with how to put on servings to plz???
That was a great video apart from the use of super-glue which I believe eats into some string materials.
Can you do a video showcasing Steve's grip? The carbon fiber looks very cool.
Yup! Will do that!
So your arrows are not square with arrows rest slightly higher? Only just got a bow I have just been sighting 90 degrees so far from arrow sitting on rest point but that’s quite anoyying because I have to turn the bow sideways to sight it. Might do this so I can be more consistent
Please can you tell me where i can buy the bow stand?
There’s a lot of people doing videos on tying knock points but nobody discusses what size serving they use.
❤❤❤❤
Hi, The hardest thing I find when setting up a new bow, is getting the arrow rest to stick on straight and level. Any tips or thoughts on doing a video on how to make sure the arrow rest is stuck on correctly? Thanks Daniel
Make sure you clean the surface you’re gonna stick the rest to. Then put the button in the hole so you’re sure that the rest will be aligned with the button. It doesn’t matter if you stick the rest on perfectly straight or tilted a little backwards. Tilting the rest a bit backwards will give the supporting arm a bit of a slope and your arrow will stay in its place easier. Does this help you? Cheers!
@@TripleTroubleArchery thanks. Another question now, if you reverse your sight, and slide it on backwards (behind the riser) should the sight pin always line up with the string?
In an ideal world, yes. In Sjefs case it's about a cm left of the string. This tells us it doesn't have to be a disaster if it isn't completely in the middle
People are using "nocking point" and "nocking height" interchangeably. I believe this is where confusion begins.. The nocking height is the measurement to the bottom of the top nock. The nocking point it where the center of the shaft meets the string. This would be the distance downward equal to 1/2 the diameter of the arrow nock itself.
Mantap keren
Where can I get that, Dutchtarget tshirt?
What serving material are you using for your nocking point? (The yellow serving material)
BCY 350 Nylon
Quick question, doing nocking point with some extra space within it when an arrow is nocked is what I am taught to do. Which makes sense to me because when you pull the string back the nocking points kinda squeeze together(resulting in the nock sitting perfectly in between the nocking point). Seeing you do the nocking point with absolutely no spaces in between when an arrow is nocked makes me wonder why you would do that, since then the nock will be squeezed tightly by the nocking points when it is strung?
If you use Beiter nocks, they are made to not have that problem, they have two cavities for the nocking point to go into
@@TripleTroubleArchery ooh, that is something i did not know about. Are the cavities found on the big beiter G-nocks or is it on every nock they make?
@@windyblower1211I think its every nock, you can also check your own for the cavity
if you squeeze all your rhomboids together will you push the plunger into the arrow and how do you guys think about using the trapezius ?wont that flick and inch the nock or press it against the nock points ?
We have thought about it, and have no idea 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️
@@TripleTroubleArchery maybe you could do a video on it ...? perfect excuse to mess around with some high speed slow motion footage . stiff plunger vs hard , squeezing both (all rhomboids )vs just the draw arm ones
Hi Steve. What is the stand called you put your bow into please? Thank you
Is that a standard Hoyt Formula X grip or something custom?
Steve is using his own grip, and puts it on the bow he is shooting at that moment. Will make a video about it
How did ya know those arrows were well-tuned to the bow?
Thanks for teaching me
And I am from India 🙏💐🫡👍
what string material do you guys use for your nocking points?
BCY 350 Nylon
@@TripleTroubleArchery dental floss works right?
@@windyblower1211 If it works for you it works for us!
@@TripleTroubleArchery haha ok
@@TripleTroubleArchery do you use the same string for the serving?
Try pulling your nock thread through a glue stick first, wrap the thread around the glue stick and pull quickly, when the nocking points are in place use a lighter to burn off tags and melt the glue on the thread.
Great idea
@@LukePighetti I can't lay claim to it, I read it somewhere a few years ago, simple over hand knots, one on top of the string the other under, if you know what I mean, they work really well and are very secure.
After you set the first nocking point your arrows shot low. How did you know it wasn't just the site causing the issue?
Because he's very accurate, he only needs to shoot a few arrows to recognize that the grouping was low. He keeps moving the nock until he's satisfied with the grouping.
Hi archer
What is the target's black color?
I want to know the material
It's a Danage target
@@TripleTroubleArchery Thank you ^^
What size thread do you use?
350 nylon
What dampers does Steve use?
Fivics VZ 2200
Triple Trouble thank you! Great videos! ❤️🎯
Wat is de reden dat je 15x rond gaat i.p.v. de standaard 4x? Is dit een persoonlijke keuze, of zit hier een technische reden achter?
Duidelijke video verder, top!
Behalve dat het steviger is, heeft Steve hier geen technische reden voor.
HAHAA... my 3 yard group looks like this dudes 30 meter group🤣, after my second day of shooting a traditional bow lol!
Hi
What type of thread was used in this video?
BCY 350 Nylon
😮😮😮😮😮😮
How long is your string?
170cm
Grear
Great
😎👍🏹🥇🇲🇾
I dont have a bow square...
Why not just make an adjustable nocking point? You can turn it around on the string and there is no need to cut the nocks off every time
I'm archery player in my school at the phillppines but I didn't have personal bow
can you get any more precise than this guy?
Ты настроил прицел для средней обмотки а стреляешь с завышенным намоткой . Не надо ли было перестроить прицел ? Видео не актуально.
The first knot should be at lower 4 and the second knot at the upper 4 ....
i will ignore the olimpic shooter and will trust u
Me too, what would one of the world`s top archers know???
😂 😂 😂 me too!
Интересно. Но блин. Из-за австралийского акцента, некоторые слова не понятны. Нужны субтитры.
Give away a bow sir
i smell dutch
So why put the super glue on before you burn the extra pieces rather than after you burn the extra pieces? Also subscribe to my channel! Lol
Good question! Will ask Steve why he does this!
Everyone is using nocking clambs, this stupid metal things - the string is much more classy and looks much better (y)
15 knots.....really? 6 should be fine
It should, but in this case, Steve chooses for some extra security.
You question why one of the world`s top archers uses more knots as if he wouldn`t know what suits him best and what would work just as well for others!?
I’m going to get flamed for this comment but why do you need a square dedicated to establish a “starting point”. Why not use anything with a right angle if it’s going to be raised a quarter inch as a place to start testing. Everyone is so equipment dependent these days...
Because this clips onto the string so you have your hands free, has easy engravings and is designed exactly for this particular case :)
@@TripleTroubleArchery yes it’s another single use tool that exactly accomplished nothing but establish what? A more precise “starting” point at which you start the very much old fashioned trial and error method of fine tuning. I get that every “hobby” has its specialty tools but this one is very “special” indeed.
Except I have one in my quiver at all times since it's easy to check my tiller, brace height and nocking point. If I wouldn't have one of these I'd have to get a ruler but rulers don't have clips to attach it to the string. I get your point of there being a lot of single use products but I think the bow square is simply not a good example
@@TripleTroubleArchery thanks for your input. I’ll see if i change my mind as i get into archery more.
Never and i mean never use super glue. Just learn how to tie a proper knot.
most pros do it. there are multiple videos, with multiple pros doing it.
@@MrScathgadai i have been making strings for over 30 years now en have seen many broken strings because of idiots aplying superglue on their strings. Just learn how to tie a proper nok point. Its real easy just google it.
It would look a lot nicer if you just use a brass Nock point
nice
