Tools and Materials
Before beginning, consult your compound bow’s manual to make sure all the components are compatible and properly installed. Gather the following tools and materials:
- A bow stringer
- A bow press
- A nocking point
- Hot glue
Installation Process
Step 1: Stringing The Bow
Using the bow stringer, attach the bowstring to the cam and then position the bow stringer over the bow’s limbs. Use the stringer to help draw the bow string around the cam. When the string is properly installed, it should create a straight line from the cam to your bow’s limbs.
Step 2: Position Nocking Point
Using the bow press, press the nocking point into the string. Make sure it is near the center of the bow’s string. Adjust the position of the nocking point as necessary until it is firmly pressed against the string.
Step 3: Secure the Nocking Point
Using hot glue or other adhesive material, secure the nocking point firmly to the bow string. Make sure the nocking point has no possibility of coming loose or moving.
Step 4: Safety Check
Inspect the nocking point for any signs of wear or damage. Make sure it is properly secured to the bowstring and that the arrow is fitting snugly in the nock. Have an archery expert check the installation of the nocking point to make sure you have done it correctly.
Installing a nocking point on a compound bow is an important step in making sure your bow is firing correctly. Taking the time to properly install the nocking point, making sure it is correctly aligned with the string and ensuring the arrow is fitting snugly in the nock with hot glue or other adhesive materials will allow your bow to shoot accurately and safely. With a little bit of knowledge and care, you can install a nocking point on your compound bow with ease.
