What does it mean to have an arrow nocked?

It’s ‘nock’ and it means the little bit at the non-pointed end of the arrow which you click on to the bowstring. It holds the arrow in place while you draw the bow. You have to be careful to nock the arrow correctly so that you don’t break off a fletch as you shoot!

What is the correct position for Nocking the arrow?

A nocked arrow should be positioned about a quarter inch above the arrow rest on the bow handle. On most bows, a small brass band called a “nocking point” is crimped onto the bowstring to mark the correct position.

Where do you put the nock arrow on a recurve bow?

We find that most traditional bows like to have the nocking point approximately 1/2 inch above the shelf. Start by attaching your nocking point 1/2 inch high. This means that the bottom of the brass nock is 1/2 inch above the arrow shelf.

What do you carry your arrows in?

Do you place your fingers above or below the nocked arrow?

The index finger is placed above the arrow nock and the second and third fingers are placed below the arrow nock. Curl the fingers around the bowstring so that the first joint of all three fingers are aligned on the bowstring.

Where should I store my bow?

Keep your bows in the driest area of the house, preferably laid horizontally on a shelf or between pegs. If you plan on storing away your bow for a long period of time, then use a strong bow case that is designed to keep it in place. Always unstring your bow.

What type of arrow point is best for practicing in the field of dead tree stumps?

Using blunt- or JUDO®-type points, practice in the field on dead tree stumps or other objects. This important field practice is also good for improving your ability to estimate distances to targets.

How do you release the bowstring?

What should be screwed on broadheads?

Use a special wrench to screw on broadheads. This device covers the blades while a broadhead is being tightened on an arrow. If a wrench isn’t used, the slightest slip can cause a serious cut. When sharpening broadheads, always stroke the blade away from your hands and body.

When drawing the bowstring my elbow should be?

The wrist, forearm and elbow of the drawing arm (bowstring hand) should be located behind the arrow and as close to parallel (in-line) with the arrow shaft as possible.

What is the name of the part where the arrows rest before you shoot?

The place on a bow’s riser directly above the grip where the arrow rest is mounted is referred to as the arrow shelf. While modern compounds use an arrow rest to hold the arrow before and during the shot, in traditional archery the arrow is most commonly shot directly off the shelf, which is where the name comes from.

Can you shoot a compound bow without a trigger?
