How do you move a nock point?
The nock is tied with two layers, one on top of the other. When the nock is tied, I then put a drop of glue on them to hold them together better and give a better grip for turning them.

What is the best Nocking point?
Choose a mark above the bottom line of the gauge for the top nocking point. This will define where your arrow sits on the string and it will take time – and tuning – to find the perfect place. A good place to start is 3/16ths of an inch, or about 5mm, up.
