Dang crimp on nocks!

[duck'n]

I set up my shortest recurve last night for hunting from the ground in the brush. I used a crimp on nock (had one laying around) and got everything shooting well after some bare shaft tuning. Ran home to shoot a couple at lunch and was shooting great until the crimp nock flew off. In my haste I didn't write it down but I am pretty sure I remember. First project tonight after kids homework is to TIE on a nock point and get it set back up. Other than that, the old Grayling Bear Tigercat was shooting real well!

yeah I hate crimp on nocks, I now use dental floss string, helps with micro adjustments and longevity

[Junkers88]

Yeah I use adjustable tie-on nocking points and like them much.

Where are you hunting this year B...??

[duck'n]

I have a few standing invites here and there...supposed that go north for exotics a couple times but who knows. I bet we could ambush a doe or a pig north of RGC!

[Artos]

You are welcome to put a set up around one of my feeders if you want...I'm getting close to get'n going. Working on getting the old trailer out this weekend & the new one set next.

By mid Nov should have feeders going...I know, slack'n. Too hot.

[duck'n]

WAY too hot! I really appreciate the offer and will take you up on it. I can help with work around there. Out this weekend but think next weekend is open

[Artos]

Love to have ya.

Should be out there I reckon...we'll touch base so you can scout around and see which set up/ups you think will work for you.

I was confused there for a minute. I thought you were talking about arrow nocks, not the nocking point on your string.
I thought something new came out and I missed it.
Personally, I've never had a problem with the brass crimp-on nocking points.

[Bisch]

No crimp on nock points for me. They are a PITA!!!!

If the nock set came off then you didn't install it correctly. I've used them for over 50 years and have never had one come off even shooting bows over 80#.

[duck'n]

I don't doubt I messed it up!

Nock pliers are cheap. I have never had a problem using them and it is much faster.
