Trying something different with my string nock points. Up to this point, I've always just put a spot of glue on them to keep them from turning. Have you ever snugged two nuts together on a bolt? If you have, you know it keeps them from turning. I did the same thing/principle on my nock points. Snugged them together to keep them from moving, and so far after quite a number of shots, they have not moved at all.

I've been using the string nock-set, with an upper and lower nock. And pretty much how/why I am here since finding your video a while before the forum started, you have some really good tutorial videos.
I find that the superglue doesn't always work for me - probably wax or another non-adhering substance on the string and maybe serving. But I do have an occasional problem with the lower nock moving. And just know thinking, I probable need to keep better tabs on the upper to make sure that one is staying in place
From what I read. the info says more on the string will slow things down. But how much can the "double nut nock set" really affect things - and just now thinking you could maybe lessen the number of wraps for the extra nock to minimize the amount of material.
Also, would a reverse wind maybe keep the lower nock from moving - like a cross threaded nut, but you would have to get it set the first time?

It's not enough performance loss to be noticeable in the shooting.
It might be measurable under controlled testing, but that measure would be slight.
So slight, that like I said - you would never notice it in your shooting.
I tie mine on very tight. They aren't easy to move, but can be when I need to.
I've not had them move at all since doing the above, even after intentionally moving them.
A reverse wrap done tight would lock it down, but would also make it where you could not adjust it.

Rick, that's interesting. Since the four nocking points are twice as wide as two, does your tab rest on them?

This fixed the issue.
